I watched my bird feeder for 15 minutes yesterday, and then walked one of my usual paths here in Stoney Creek for 1-1/4 hours to count species and birds for the 2011 Great Backyard Bird Count. It was windy today, with very high wind gusts, and many of the smaller birds were hunkered down. Here's a summary of the two lists that I submitted: |
|
| Canada Goose | 146 | Mallard | 2 | Red-shouldered Hawk | 1 | Belted Kingfisher | 1 | Red-bellied Woodpecker | 4 | Northern Flicker | 2 | Pileated Woodpecker | 3 | Blue Jay | 4 | American Crow | 54 | Carolina Chickadee | 4 | White-breasted Nuthatch | 2 | Eastern Bluebird | 3 | American Robin | 6 | Field Sparrow | 1 | Song Sparrow | 1 | White-throated Sparrow | 3 | Dark-eyed Junco | 19 | Northern Cardinal | 7 | Common Grackle | 2 | American Goldfinch | 2 | Total | 267 |
