OK, you may all think I am nuts ... but today we started Project Feeder Watch.
We are excited to be a part of it this year. So far today in our first watch we have seen
* 2 Eastern Bluebirds (a suprise for this time of year, they are "just passing through")
* 2 American Goldfinches
* 1 White-breasted Nuthatch
* 3 House Sparrows
* 3 Slate-colored (or Dark-Eyed) Juncos
* 1 Downy Woodpecker
* 1 Song Sparrow
* 1 White-throated Sparrow
It's fun to be part of this project!
Thanks to Bluefrog Hollow - who got me started....and to Backyard Birding who reminded me it was time!
***NOTE ~ another nature sighting later today!
Birding Dad was on the roof hanging the christmas lights when he saw two deer, being chased by a coyote run down our driveway - past the house - disappear into the woods - crash across the stream and re-appear (still running full-out) in the upper field!
He called to Birding Girl and I, but we were not quick enough to see. This is the first coyote we have actually seen on our property ... birding girl is still praying for the safety of the deer.
