for the Birds

the Christmas Bird Count was relatively uneventful, what with Birdman chickening out due to a little ice. But I promised to report on our feathered friends in our corner of Hoosierdom, so here goes:

Brown Creeper

Bluebird 2

Black Capped Chickadee 2

Crow 3

Tufted Titmouse 3

Cardinal 3

House Sparrow 20

Mourning Dove 7

Red Bellied Woodpecker 2

Downy Woodpecker 2

House Finch 8

Juncos 6

White Breasted Nuthatch 2

Canada Goose 12

Northern Flicker

Starling 6

Goldfinch 4

All seen from the warmth of our living room, near the roaring fire, a block away from downtown river city. The Great Backyard Bird Count is coming up in a few weeks, so there will be more to report. We've been away at Pokagon for a few days, so forgive my blog lethargy. An upcoming story you won't want to miss.......the (sea)horse whisperer.
