My backyard bird feeding station has a record number of species. I have BC 
Chicadees, which I never had before, along with Downy Woodpeckers, Tufted 
Titmice, Goldfinches, Cardinals, Blue Jays, House Finches, one Red-Bellied 
Woodpecker, House Sparrows (yuck), a daily visit by Coopers or Sharp-Shin 
(swooped down and nailed a rat in my compost pile yesterday), a pair of 
Carolina Wrens, WB Nuthatches, Dark-Eyed Juncos, Song Sparrows, Mourning 
Doves and Rock Doves. Of course, I see a daily Bald Eagle soaring over my 
yard each day; Sandusky Co. has the most eagles in Ohio, over 100. Robert 
in Fremont. 

I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was 
hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by 
that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have 
worn. Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
