Over President's Day weekend we participated in the Great Backyard Bird Count. It was simple. All we had to do was look out our dining room window and count the different types of birds we saw. We recorded our results and posted them online. We saw 2 cardinals (one male and one female), 15 Dark-eyed Juncos, 8 Mourning Doves, 3 Black-capped Chickadees(that surprised me-we used to see more in our backyard), 1 Blue Jay and 1 Red-Bellied Woodpecker. I used a new bird seed called "No Squirrels-Just Birds" in my ranch feeder and it really worked. If anyone else counted the birds that weekend and would like to share their results, please feel free to post them. Any other comments or stories about backyard bird feeding is welcome. Last years results can be found on the Audubon Website.
