Hi, Ohio Birders!
 
Our “Blizzard” count from 3-8-08.
 
The four of us sequestered here at our Anderson Twp. home, southeast of Cincinnati, came to a 24 hour count of 31 in the 'Snowy Day' frenzy at the feeders.  
 
We put out extra 'gourmet' suet cakes, extra BOSS, and peanuts at our birdy buffets in the front and back yards (one acre property next to Woodland Mound Park forest).  Lots of fun!
