As I'll be at work tomorrow, I won't be participating in the last of the The Great Backyard Bird Count. So I thought I'd summarize how the weekend went here.
Most of my counting was done at home, but I did make a short trip out to a local park yesterday. Here's a summary of the weekend's observations.
| Species | Highest Count |
| American Crow | 2 |
| American Goldfinch | 4 |
| American Tree Sparrow | 4 |
| Black Capped Chickadee | 4 |
| Blue Jay | 2 |
| Common Redpoll | 5 |
| Dark Eyed Junco | 7 |
| Downy Woodpecker | 2 |
| European Starling | 22 |
| Hairy Woodpecker | 1 |
| House Finch | 9 |
| Mourning Dove | 21 |
| Pine Siskin | 4 |
| Red Breasted Nuthatch | 1 |
In short not a bad weekend for birding, especially with the amount of wind we had. The Great Backyard Bird Count is currently reporting nearly 95,000 checklists submitted and over 5,000 species observed. That's amazing! Great job everyone!
