Fellow snowed in birders, No parrots seen this morning, but otherwise a good start to the Snowy day contest. Have seen 18 species so far and heard one, Red Shouldered Hawk. Highlights include Sapsucker, Hairy, Brown creeper, White crowned sparrow, and TWO CHIPPING SPARROWS. As I've said in the past, we have almost an unfair advantage with our 60 acre "yard" with three feeder stations, and lots of birds. Thanks, as always, to Sue for "sponsoring" this great contest. She should try to get some corporate sponsors who would put up big bucks for larger prizes, perhaps even a trophy, like a bronzed House finch. joe in the woods Somerset, Ohio Perry County Note: Many have suggested video of the Parrot feeding wild birds. It shall be done. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
