Day 16.343: A few birds (counted)

Not only did all the birds seem to disappear at the beginning of November when Project Feederwatch started back up for the season, but they especially disappear on our counting days. The weekend before last, we saw no birds at all on either day. Happily this last weekend was a little more successful:

A little baffling, but probably a house finch

Bluebird on the bird bath...

...and taking a drink

Seven species in total and three individuals of a few of them. Not record-breaking, but much better than none.

  1. I thought bluebirds were summer visitors to you?

    1. Increasingly staying year-round in southern Maine (although almost unheard of before 1970 according to Vickery)
