There was nothing to do during the blizzard yesterday but watch birds out of our windows, so I decided to do my own extra-numerary backyard bird count. The highlights were 30 juncos, 24 bluebirds, the oriole, (Shirley is still here) 25 goldfinches including a semi-leucistic one. I thought it was some new species and ran to get the camera but of course he was gone. He was a little smaller than the others, very noticeable black cap, and areas of white feathers.
This is the most bluebirds I’ve ever had at once. 13 is my usual count. I’m going broke on mealworms!
