Project Feeder Watch

This week's numbers are a bit low- we weren't able to spend as much time on the count as usual. We only saw the Red-Tailed Hawk (and quite a few of them were out and about in our travels). While on a hike, we saw six American Crow flying overhead. There was a huge influx of Starlings on the lawn. We observed one picking up feathers, so I suspect they may be looking for nesting sites soon. We'll have to monitor that and continue to remove their nests from any of the boxes they try to take over.
