White-breasted Nuthatch
This past Sunday, Rob and I joined our friends, Frank & Tracy, to do a bird count for The Great Backyard Bird Count.
This is what we saw during all the laughter and chatting during our walk;
6 Crows
2 Cardinals
5 Juncos
7 Mallards
1 Mockingbird
10 Chickadees (Rob and I hand-fed a few of the cute little bums)
3 Tree Sparrows
2 White-breasted Nuthatches
9 House Finches
1 Downy Woodpecker
3 Mourning Doves
1 Hairy Woodpecker
1 Peregrine Falcon
2 Red-tailed Hawks
1 Sharp-shin Hawk
We also saw a Raccoon having a sleep in a tree cavity and four White-tailed deer.
On the drive home Rob and I saw 1 Kestrel. Later in the evening, while driving to dinner we also saw 1 Snowy Owl!
The GBBC goes for four days, but due to other commitments this is the only count we really did this year, and it was an enjoyable one.
