Winter months are a great time for me for a number of reasons:
Project Feederwatch begins in a week affording commmunication with
dozens of folks from around the country comparing results.
Always the chance of a surprise visitor at the feeders.
Will the Pine Siskins and or Red Polls appear in the numbers
experienced two years ago?
What will the January/February Cardinal numbers be this year?
Christmas and GBBC counts.
Traveling the backcountry roads looking for Pheasants and maybe a Gray
Patridge as well as swarms of Snow Buntings and Horned Larks.
What else can brighten a snowy cold winter day like the birds?

Despite balmy temperatures here in the northern Midwest, winter is

For most of us, bird numbers have greatly dwindled, plumages have
diminished, songs are occasional or fragmented. How do you find
satisfaction in your birding hobby (or passion, or obsession) during
the December to February timeframe?
Thanks!
