    Cool initiative! What's your count so far? Or too early to tell? Posted 4 years ago

      I think I saw about 10 species...pretty much the same species each day: Juncos, song sparrows, chickadees, white-throated sparrows, crows, gulls, Carolina wrens, house sparrows, Canada geese, and cardinals. We also have tufted titmouses, nuthatches, blue jays, hawks, and black vultures that frequent our yard in winter, but I didn't see any this past weekend. Posted 4 years ago

        Yes, they are wearing their winter coats (the fluffed up feathers) :-) Posted 4 years ago
