Bird watching day!

Today is bird watching day. Every Monday and Tuesday my dad and I watch our 4 bird feeders and mark down the birds we have seen.  It is really fun! Today we have seen 2 Downy Woodpeckers,2 Mourning Doves,2 Northern Cardinals,1 Gold Finch,3 American Tree Sparrows, 4 Dark-eyed Juncos,and 2 Red Winged Blackbirds! A lot of birds!And it's only 10:30 AM! WOW! I am sure I'll see even more later. There is a Dark-eyed Junco at a bird feeder right now! Bye!

  1. That's a lot of different birds! Are you putting out different types of seed to attract them? I have finch feeders and can sometimes see around 30 finches on them at one time.
    You should also hang different types of suet, especially for the woodpeckers. Woodpeckers love the suet. I have three different types of woodpeckers who visit my birdfeeders and eat the suet.
    Maybe you can get some photos of the birds you see!
