Mark your calendars now: Feb. 15-18, 2013

The Great Backyard Bird Count for 2013 will run over 4 days, from February 15th-18th.

You count birds (and take photos, if you want, and send them in - there's also a photo contest) you see over a 4 day period. You don't have to do all 4 days.

Got to the site and read more. It's fun! It's educational! (and you get great photos to share with the rest of us)

Red-breasted Nuthatch

(and my favorite bird) Tufted Titmouse

The neighborhood strays figured out how to get to my bird feeder from my roof so I moved the feeder lower. The birds adjusted and the cats fear my dogs.

comical faces. To me anyway.

I hope you're able to do the count.

I had 2 Inca Doves today. I was very pleased to see them.
