Project Feeder Watch: Week 2 totals

It was a bit boring this weekend- just the usuals showing up at the feeders until Dave pointed out some waxwings. Unfortunately due to the way the light was shining, we couldn't tell if they were Cedar or Bohemian Waxwings (and it could be either this time of year). Dave went for a closer look, but since that entailed hiking through the little forest area, he thinks he might have scared them off. We can't add them to the count since we're not 100% sure which one it was.

Here's our numbers for this week. There are still a ton of Mourning Doves around (Dave said there must have been a hundred in the woods), but we didn't see more than this number at one given time this weekend.
