The Great Backyard Bird Count

The Great Backyard Bird Count took place this weekend. On any given day we have six or more bluebirds in our backyard. Sometimes we're lucky enough to get a junko or two as well, and godfinches are not uncommon, either. Our front yard is a popular hangout for neighborhood sparrows, a variety of finch species, grackles, bluejays, and sometimes even a cardinal or two.

Here are our misleading counts for the weekend, though:

Extremely high winds plagued us for the first two days, and heavy snowfall for the second two. At least we had a good time looking for them.
