Like Tom and Laverne we had quite a few birds at the feeders today. We had
7 inches of snow so the birds were having a hard time finding food. Common
Grackles were the most numerous with 29. There were 27 Goldfinches, 17
Red-wings, 15 Cardinals and 5 Rusty blackbirds. Two Fox Sparrows came to feed
just after daylight. Twice during the day a Cooper's Hawk sent the birds
diving for cover. I never saw it connect with a bird, but once it flew at
eye level by the kitchen window and the dining room door, only a few feet
away. I ended the day with 23 species.
I have attached 3 photos of the day.
