Project Feederwatch


We had a crazy number of birds and species on Saturday. A robin stood guard over the crabapple trees and chased all the cedar waxwings away. He chased them away from the apple trees and away from the entire yard. He was a bossy robin. Here are the totals: Red bellied woodpecker - 1, downy woodpecker - 2, cardinal - 2, robin - 1 (bossy), white breasted nuthatch - 2, black capped chickadee - 3, crow - 1, golfinch - 2, blue jay - 1, junco - 2, cedar waxwing - 12, house finch (see photo - new species to us) - 2.
