The 1st bird I saw on New Year’s Day was a female Pileated Woodpecker. The feeders were busy all day.
An injured Mourning Dove spent a good part of her day sitting on the feeders platform. She's missing some beak and was favoring one leg. I don't suppose it will go easy for her.
The rest of the Doves love to perch around the edge of the heated water bath.
Like ladies-aid at the hot tub.
A flock of Purple Finch showed up this week
The males are very flashy.
Today, 1/2/2022, is the Rice Lake bird count. I volunteered to count my feeder.
I counted 14 species in just a few hours.
I watched a car pull up and park in front of the house, pull out binoculars and then record on a clipboard. One of many volunteers out counting in the area. I think she saw the Tufted Titmouse, her timing was good.
A good start to the new year.
