Birders,

the weather has packed my feeders with numbers of the usual suspects,
but no rarities-

8 cardinals
15 juncos
1 RB nuthatch (there used to be M+F, I have seen only the male for a month)
8 Black-capped chickadees
2 Wb nuthatches
2 downies
3 red-bellieds
only 3 goldfinches
1 redshouldered hawk making passes

I continue to be perplexed/amazed/troubled by the utter lack of
sparrows- nary a one!

the only possibly hint of interest was a beautiful melodious
high-pitched song from the tops of the spruces- sounded a lot like WW
crossbill, but I've only heard them once in real life.

best to all
