Carol had four birds that I didn't have (Crow, Sapsucker, YR Warbler, House sparrow) but I had six that carol didn't have . FOX SPARROW 1 EASTERN TOWHEE 3 Grackle 100+ HERMIT THRUSH 1 GOLDEN CROWNED KINGLET 1 Harry Woodpecker 2 . The Hermit Thrush has been in the "yard" for at least three weeks now, seen eating bitter sweet berries, and seen getting a drink from the water hole in our pond around the aerator. I think that makes 36 yard birds already this year, the best being the Hermit Thrush, an Eastern Phoebe, and a Winter Wren.
