Greetings all! It's been a great morning here in western Holmes Co. to sit back with a cup of coffee and watch the birds. It's especially nice when a COMMON REDPOLL decides to dine at your feeders. (I've been envious of all the postings! :-)) I caught the first glimpse at about 10:00 a.m. on the thistle feeder then he made his rounds to the other 3 sunflower feeders before disappearing. What a beautiful bird! Also had a possible Oregon Junco. There was definitely a distinct difference between its dark hood and the rest of its body. The sides seemed to have some light streaking like a sparrow. I'm keeping a lookout for his return as well as doing a bit more studying before I make him a permanent addition to my list. Here's a list of other sightings this morning so far: Northern Cardinals – 6 Dark-eyed (slate-colored) Juncos – 9 Possible Oregon Junco – 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch – 2 White-breasted Nuthatch – 1 Red-bellied Woodpecker – 2 Downy Woodpecker – 2 Hairy Woodpecker – 1 Blue Jays – 2 Tufted Titmouse – 2 BC Chickadee – 1 American Goldfinch – 6 (the most I’ve had in over a month) Common Redpoll – 1 Brown-headed Cowbird – 8 Song Sparrow – 1 American Tree Sparrow – 1 Mourning Dove - 1 White-throated Sparrow - 1 Happy birding all!
