Hello Bird People,

Kind of cold in the early morning so I just watched birds coming to
the feeders at the Welcome Center. Just saw the regulars, nothing
special.

Rock Pigeon (3)
Mourning Dove (10)
Red Headed Woodpecker (3)
Red Bellied Woodpecker (3)
Downy Woodpecker (1-M & 1-F)
Hairy Woodpecker (1-F)
Pileated Woodpecker (Heard one along the river but couldn't see it)
Blue Jay (2)
Chickadee (3)
W.B. Nuthatch (2)
Robin (H-2)
Cardinal (1-PR & 1-F)

I found no Finches of any kind today.

So 14 species for the day plus roadside Crows & Starlings for a day's
total of 16.
Bird-Of-The-Day to the Red Headed Woodpeckers & Runner-Up to the
"heard only" Pileated Woodpecker for an all Woodpecker awards day.
