Project Bird Feeder Watch Update

Saturday: Black Capped chickadee-5, Junco -2
Sunday: Black Capped Chickadee - 5, Crow-1, Cardinal-1, Purple Finch-5, Robin-5, Cedar Waxwing-3, Junco-1, Downy Woodpecker-1, White Breasted Nuthatch-1

The only crab apples that are left are at the end of the branches so they really have to go out on a limb to get their fruit. Their weight causes the branch to bounce up and down. Must be like trying to eat an apple while bouncing on a trampoline.
