Great Backyard Bird Count day 2

The weather today was just lovely, great for counting birds. I counted three times, twice from home and once from a local park. I spotted this beautiful Tufted-Titmouse at the park.

Other birds that I'm able to report today include an American Robin, Carolina Wren, Dark-eyed Junco, Downy Woodpecker, European Starling, Field Sparrow, Mallard Duck, Mourning Dove, Northern Cardinal, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Turkey Vulture, and White-throated Sparrow.

Any movement and they usually fly away but today this Tufted Titmouse struck a pose and let me snap away.

Bird watching on a snowy morning

It snowed early this morning so we had lots of birds at our feeders for breakfast. I counted at least 10 different species. It was so much fun watching them. At one point we had two woodpeckers visit. I was so excited I screamed for my husband and they flew away before I could get a picture. I'm standing in my kitchen with the window wide open so they heard me load and clear. One was a Downy Woodpecker and I believe the other was a Red-bellied Woodpecker. I did get a picture of the Red-bellied Woodpecker in the tree which I'll share another day. It took me forever to get a picture of this Tufted Titmouse. It comes in, grabs a piece of food, and quickly leaves. At one point I heard tapping and was able to catch him trying to crack a seed open.

I love when we're visited by this Tufted Titmouse
