On 12/24 while walking down my driveway, I had an idea....see whether I can find birds to fit each of the twelve days of Christmas. As it turned out, I was able to, though several birds fit some of the categories. 1 (individual) - pileated woodpecker (also purple finch, chipping sparrow, red-bellied woodpecker, downy woodpecker, turkey vulture, red-tailed hawk, American robin, ruby-crowned kinglet) 2 (individuals) - rufous-sided towhees( also eastern bluebirds, field sparrows, black vultures, American crows, hermit thrushes) 3 (individuals) - house finches (also white-breasted nuthatches, blue jays) 4 (individuals) - golden-crowned kinglets 5 (individuals) - Carolina wrens 6 (individuals) - dark-eyed juncos (also Carolina chickadees) 7 (individuals) - northern cardinals 8 (individuals) - song sparrows 9 (individuals) - tufted titmice 10 (individuals) - white-throated sparrows 11 (individuals) - American goldfinches 12 (individuals) - mourning doves Happy holidays!
