Lots and lots of birds moving today with 17 species of waterfowl and 7 species of gulls. The birds really didn't start moving until after 8:30 and then they just poured through. I had to quit at 10:00, but when I got back at 11:30 the birds were still moving. I'll have another post about that. The feeders were OK. The fox and chipping sparrows were here as well as a single siskin, but no crossbills today.
