Looks great, Ginny! Nice count, too! 20 spp! If I get half that in winter, it's a good day!

I'm jealous of your flicker. They are so striking! Nine bluebirds? WOW! I have a question: what is a "song bird"? is it a song sparrow? I have one of those in the winter every day, but never more than one.

Nice group of birds Ginny. Am I correct that you would see the Yellow shafted flicker?

Aren't you surprised your numbers didn't spike in response to all the snow?
9 bluebirds! That's awesome! And congrats on the pileated!
What's the 'finch house', though? I thought they were house finches, but there's a listing for them, too...

That is a heck of a lot of snow!! I would've thought you'd have higher numbers with all that snow and low temps. But your count is great anyway. Super good about the pileated and many other woodpeckers.

I feel so bad for Ginny. Parts of MA are getting 20" of snow today-Tues. Hope you aren't in that part of MA, Ginny!
