Many of the expected visitors made our list this weekend:
 |
Eastern bluebird perched on the edge of the birdbath |
But there were some surprises too - two first timers (for the FeederWatch lists):
 |
House sparrow - we see them nearby, but not at our feeders before this |
 |
White-throated sparrow. Not sure if we've seen one in the backyard before, but certainly not on a FeederWatch day. We see them nearby quite often during migration. |
A large hawk flew by but landed a little out of our count area and, since it managed to perch where this was our only view, we would have struggled to positively identify it in any case:
 |
By size alone, I suspect red-tailed hawk but I'm far from sure. |
