So far this week we have added 29 species here! This morning we coulda/shoulda carried recliners to the Cotton wood trees that were in catkin. They were loaded with birds. A list of the 16 species that were new, and in numbers, today:
Yellowthroat, Great-crested, Blue-headed Vireo, Magnolia, Least Fly, Black-throated Green and Blues, Tennessee, Blackburnian, Black and White, Blue-winged, Parula, Veery, Bay Breasted and right on time -RT Hummingbird! The day started with a White-crowned Sparrow count of 23 birds under the feeders! Sore but satisfied after a couple of hours enjoyment. As a side note I recently had an interference problem with my hearing aids and sent them in for repair. I was told they replaced the electronics. Those kind folks at Unitron must have not only replaced but upgraded the electronics as I have been hearing a thousand times better AND I can hear many bird songs that were impossible or that I had to play with many adjustments for with the old aids.
