Maybe you saw the movie, The Big Day, where crazy bird watchers raced around the world trying to see the most variety of birds on record in a year's time.
I don't usually track the birds I see, but yesterday, I started a list.
It was crazy at the bird feeders, get this: goldfinch, indigo bunting, orioles, cardinal, downy woodpecker, rose breasted grosbeak, common grackle, chickadee, hummingbird, house sparrow, chipping sparrow, yellow rumped warbler, nuthatch, robins, white throated sparrows, mourning doves. The day before I had a scarlet Tananger.
Lots of migration going on.
Here are a few snaps of my visitors
