Here is the ProjectFeederWatch data for my site for week number 8. We saw 18 species totaling 123 individuals this week. No exciting newcomers, just the reliable regulars. Lots of cold weather meant lots of toting warm water to unfreeze the water rays this week.

Here is this week's Project Feeder Watch data. It's now week Seven of the count. We had 19 species and 127 individuals this week. The Red Shouldered Hawk is still around but everyone seems to be avoiding it pretty well, so far. Chipmunks have finally all gone to ground, but squirrels still coming. Also one lonely grackle still around. Otherwise it's just the regulars. First count of the season with snow cover, also.

Just finished entering totals for Project Feeder Watch week number 6. We had 18 species this week and 132 individuals. Winter is closing in fast and it's a chore to keep the water trays unfrozen. My favorite visitor is always the Carolina Wren. It's amazing how something so small can have such a big attitude. Attached is a screen shot of the count totals for the week.

I'm not good at video, but here's my family of birds coming in for the afternoon feed on a cold, wet day. Temp is ONLY JUST above freezing and it's raining at this point. Most of the birds seen here are house sparrows and house finches, but a few other regulars are also coming in.

A bit tardy, but life gets in the way sometimes. Here is the Project Feeder Watch data for week number 5 at my site.
Data may be viewed here: https://data.feederwatch.org/pfw/count/summary?id=S287081172
We had 19 species and 127 individuals this week. Nothing very unusual, just the regulars this week. There is STILL one very determined chipmunk gathering seed every time I look.

We had 19 species and 124 individuals this week, including a rare sighting of a Northern Flicker. The Red-Winged Blackbirds have gone, but the Grackles are back in lower numbers. The Red Shouldered Hawk is still hanging around making everyone nervous. Still one chipmunk stocking up on seed.

Got down to 25°F / -4°C overnight. I'll be chipping ice off the trays of water for the birds. At least the sun is shining now, so I expect thawing by noon... off now to do bird counts.

Here is my ProjectFeederWatch data for week number 3.

https://data.feederwatch.org/pfw/count/summary?id=S284966362

We saw 22 species and 141 individuals this week. Had a nice visit from a flock of 19 Red-Winged Blackbirds. Junco numbers are climbing, too. The Red Shouldered Hawk that haunts the feeders doesn't seem to bother the song birds too much. They have plenty of cover to dive into when he comes by. Still a couple of chipmunks gathering seed, too.

Project FeederWatch - Count Summary

Just finished entering the data for week 2 of ProjectFeederWatch.
Data may be seen here:
https://data.feederwatch.org/pfw/count/summary?id=S283917107
We had 20 species & 106 individuals this week. Chipmunks & squirrels active all over the place. A Red Shouldered Hawk had everyone nervous for a while, but it left empty-handed after a while.
The apple tree pruning is well along now but the biggest of the trees is still yet to do. Big job.

Nothing much unusual to report, just the common birds we see frequently, although the Juncos have returned just in time for the first count this year.
