There was a decent movement of birds today with a nice variety of birds. There were no unusual birds counted. I briefly had a male BREWER'S BLACKBIRD at my feeder this morning. It fed under the feeders for about two minutes before heading off to the west not to be seen again. The strong northwest winds seemed to drive the birds away from my feeders today. Perhaps if there were other birds around, the blackbird would have hung around. This is the second time I have had a Brewer's Blackbird at my feeders.
