Great Backyard Bird Count ~Day 3

The Most Colorful Award is tied. I found it impossible to choose between the Cardinal above and the Blue Jay below.

They are both beautiful colorful birds and I love seeing them both at the feeder.

Sunday

7AM - 7:30AM

  • 11 - Mourning Doves
  • 1 - Blue Jay
  • 2 - Cardinals
  • 5 - American Robins
  • 1 - Field Sparrow

Apparently Mourning Doves are morning birds. They are actually to big to eat from the feeder so they content themselves with milling on the ground under the feeder eating all the seeds the messy smaller birds knock out. Occasionally one will sit on the roof of the feeder.

We have a male and female cardinal that visit. The male tends to sit on the porch of the feeder, as if he owns the log cabin and only allows the other birds to visit.

Tomorrow I will name The Most Romantic Bird, see if you can guess which one it will be? In the meantime click here to submit your own bird count.
