I live about four miles from Tommy and Virginia Curtis in DeKalb County. I don't have the number of birds he has had. However, my highest count for the grosbeaks were 13 as of yesterday. Today, I can only count 11. We are replenishing the feeders so maybe I will have more in a few minutes! The sound they make is so pitiful! I know there are more in the trees above the feeders. Last week I was thrilled to have a Red-breasted Nuthatch at my feeder for one day. It was long enough to get some good pictures. It wasn't too afraid of me. I am still having hummingbirds come through one at a time.
