Day 2 - Great Backyard Bird Count
- 1- Blue Jay
- 5 - Robins
- 4 - Mourning Doves
- 6 - Field Sparrows
- 2 - Cardinals
- 1 - American Crow (Most Annoying)
- 1 - Red Bellied Woodpecker (Most Personality)
I am hoping that Sunday the weather will be warmer and I can walk down to the pond to see what birds might be visiting there. I have been observing the birds at the bird-feeder from the comfort of my WARM bedroom. We had a heavy frost this morning, so the birds seemed to visit the bird-feeder later in the day. We have a full schedule Monday, but I hope to find 15 minutes at least to contribute to the bird count. You can contribute by clicking here. I didn't see any Purple Martins today and more Robins were out today then yesterday. The Field Sparrows were new visitors (they are so tiny compared to the other birds).
I have decided to create awards for the Birds. I have awarded the Red Bellied Woodpecker the Most Personality Award. The American Crow gets the Most Annoying Award. Tomorrow I will award the Most Colorful Award to one lucky bird.
The Red Bellied Woodpecker is fun to watch. He perches on the side of the feeder and pokes his head in, occasionally peeping around the post with an inquisitive look on his face. Almost as if he is watching me watch him.
The American Crow is annoying he runs the other birds off.
