Winter birds

Today I finally moved one of my feeders from down in my yard up to my deck with No-Mess Bird Seed.  Today's visitors:  juncos, tufted titmice, chickadees, cardinals, red bellied woodpecker, mourning doves, downy woodpecker, house finch......didn't take them long to find the new location.

interesting visitors

Apparently someone in the neighborhood has taken to owning free-range chicken. So do these recent visitors to my bird feeder count towards my Yard Birds species list? That would make 101 species.

100th species of bird in our yard

Found this yellowbellied sapsucker splayed on the lawn this afternoon.  Must have hit a window, poor dude.  Thanks for rounding our YARD BIRDS list up to the big 1-0-0!
