In spite of the miserable weather our regular feeder visitors seem to be doing well. Unusual visitors for our location and season: For the past several weeks 4 American Tree Sparrows a lone White-throated Sparrow 4-6 Mourning Doves a single female Yellow-shafted Flicker
Also 12 Robins dropped by yesterday and sampled berries from a viburnum bush, -4F at the time. Odd observances include NO activity at Nyjer feeders and only a handful of Goldfinches all of which are on the ground foraging #2 sunflower. The latter are joined by 30-40 House Finch, numbers I have never experienced here in 15 years counting for PFW. Personal opinion: sunny, 0F, and windless absolutely beats cloudy, 24F, and gale force wind for outdoor activity.
