All three hawks were present again this weekend. The Cooper's has been around quite a bit. In fact, Dave watched the Cooper's swoop in and grab a Mourning Dove from the front yard on Monday morning. Britt spotted the male Red-Bellied Woodpecker on Sunday, which was nice as we hadn't seen him in on Saturday or the days leading up to it.
The Red-Breasted Nuthatch was missing from this week's count. We still haven't seen any Redpolls yet.
We saw a record number of cardinals, downys, and juncos for this winter.
We are still seeing plenty of cowbirds, starlings and house sparrows.
There seems to be a solid group of House and Gold Finches as well.
