Project FeederWatch began this weekend. Armed with my tally sheet and camera I paid extra attention to the feeders to count the birds. It was not a busy weekend, probably due to the red-tailed hawk that has been scouting the area.
I counted the usual gang of house sparrows, lots of squirrels, a pair of cardinals, a pair of red-breased nuthatches, a few juncos passing through, a couple of chickadees and a lot of visits from the woodpeckers who were enjoying the suet.

The females even posed for a few photos.
