These snowstorms really pack in the birds at our feeders. Today we had an 
exceptional array.
A Northern Goshawk perched in the scrub oaks, 10 feet behind all our feeders, 
for over an hour. The sun came out and she left. We called her a female because 
of her bulky size. During her perch, bird activity in front of her diminished 
not at all!
During her perch, we counted 16 Spotted towhees, 40 juncos, a dozen Pine 
Siskins, 6 Blue Jays (one 'jaying' at the Goshawk from a foot & a half). Two 
Song Sparrows, 2 Tree Sparrows. One Fox Sparrow, which we have seen 
sporadically over the last 10 days (just before the first snowstorm).
I plan to post some photos on eBird, but it will take a while.
