Good Birding

Thursday, January 27. 2005

We had warm weather Wednesday and great backyard bird activity. Just off the deck we saw:

Tufted Titmouse
Carolina Chickadee
Brown-headed Nuthatch
Carolina Wren
Northern Cardinal
Pine Warbler
Dark-eyed Junco
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Downy Woodpecker
Mourning Dove
Eastern Bluebird (uncommon in the back of the house...usually out front in the open areas)
Black & White Warbler — this one I'd never seen before and I think I ID'd it properly. It was a beautiful mix of black and white stripes. My uncle was visiting and saw it too, so I wasn't hallucinating! The field guides show my area as a migration zone for this bird.

I spent some time outside with my new long camera lens, but I only got the usual chickadees and nuthatches...the warblers always wait until I'm camera-less.

By the way, the Great Backyard Bird Count is coming up, February 18-21.
