Thanks Jerry. I'm glad to see you got a Purple Finch. I had one on the count
too, but they have been pretty scarce here this winter. The Northern
Mockingbird was a nice touch. Here on the mountain they are only occasional
visitors while David Raines and Johnny Ratliff and others have them throughout
the year.

Birds were generally scarce here during the count. Sunday was something of
an exception due to the snow cover. Surprisingly, Saturday was quiet except
for Goldfinches and Purple Finches even though there was snow. The four days
produced only 17 total species with no towhees or red-bellies. I was surprised
to have a Northern Mockingbird as this bird is a very rare visitor to our yard.
The complete list is below with the parentheses giving numbers for each of the
4 days.
