Simply Photos - Project FeederWatch

Welcome back.  Time is going by and Project FeederWatch has already been running for 5 weeks.  So far I have been observing quite a few species, as they vary week to week mainly depending on the weather.  When it's cold and snowy the bird totals are definitely higher, both number of species and individuals.

Following are the birds I have observed thus far since November 10th, which was the beginning of the project.  Not every species below was observed every week.

American Goldfinch
American Robin
Blacked-Capped Chickadee
Blue Jay
Brown-Headed Cowbird
Dark-Eyed Junco
Downy Woodpecker
European Starling
House Finch
House Sparrow
Mourning Dove
Northern Cardinal
Red-Bellied Woodpecker
Red-Winged Blackbird
Tufted Titmouse
White-Breasted Nuthatch
White-Throated Sparrow

The Project FeederWatch website allows you to not only enter your bird counts, but also offers interesting tabulation and analysis of your data.  For example, thus far this season, the House Sparrow and Dark-Eyed Junco have shown the largest group sizes at my feeders with an average of 6.3 birds per week when observed.

You can still join Project FeederWatch or even use it as a great Christmas gift.
