feeding frenzy


I might possibly be the biggest dork ever but I don't care. I saw SIXTEEN different birds on my feeder within an hour. So freakin cool. In the picture, clockwise from right: Eastern Bluebird, female Purple Finch (I think, on house feeder), and a Carolina Chickadee. Here's the total breakdown:

Familiar faces - Blue Jay, male and female Eastern Towhees, Brown Thrasher, Tufted Titmouse, Eastern Bluebird, Carolina Chickadee, Carolina Wren, American Goldfinch, Mourning Dove, Cardinal, Downy Woodpecker, male House Finch, and the female Red-bellied Woodpecker.

Just here for the winter - Dark-eyed Junco, female Purple Finch, and the White-breasted Nuthatch.
