Just a reminder, even during January rock pigeons are within safe dates for the OBBA 2. Beginning 1 February we can add great horned and barred owls and house sparrow. Looking ahead to 15 March, safe dates begin for red-bellied, downy, hairy and pileated woodpeckers as well as Carolina chickadee and tufted titmouse. Atlas on!
