Shadow, Oreo, Chris and I just participated in the Great Backyard Bird Count. Shadow sat in the window and chatted away with the birdies while Chris and I marked down what we saw:
6 Junco
2 Chickadee
2 Downy Woodpecker
1 Cardinal (female)
1 Bluejay
1 American Crow
The wind was blowing hard, which really cut down on the number of birds that were around.
Shadow was upset that we couldn’t record that we saw 3 squirrelly birds and a bunny bird earlier this morning. (if it comes to the bird feeder, it must be a bird, right?)
I didn’t realize that the bird count had started today, or I would have counted this morning which is the most popular time at the feeders. I’ll count tomorrow morning and enter those totals also.

Of course not more than 5 minutes after K left to log the results we had 3 mourning doves, 2 nuthatches and a hairy woodpecker.
