Recent bird count






It's been awhile since I posted a bird count list. Here are our numbers from Sunday, July 18th of birds observed in our yard. Since there are so many juveniles/fledglings this time of year, we may have recorded some as females since it can be hard to distinguish with some species.

House Wren- 1 male
Red-winged Blackbird- 1 juv., 12 adult males
Bluejays- 6 (including one fledgling demanding food from the others)
Grackles- 9
Cowbirds - 10 m, 9 f
Starlings-7
Mourning Doves- 6
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks- 1M, 1F (we usually see more- this could have been an off day)
House Sparrows- 2M, 4F/Juv
Am Robin- 1
N. Flicker- 1M, 1F (unusual for us to see one in the yard, never mind two!)
Baltimore Oriole - 1 adult, 1 juv.
Downy Woodpecker- 1M, 1F
Gold Finch- 1M, 1F
House Finch- 3M, 3F
Red-breasted Nuthatch- 1
Chipping Sparrow- 1
White-breasted Nuthatch- 1
Cardinal- 1F
Ruby-throated Hummingbird - 1M, 1F
Hairy Woodpecker- 1F
