So I had six dark-eyed juncos under the feeders today, crushing the previous record of four.

#FeederWatch

The 2024/25 #FeederWatch season came to a close today. Here is the data for my last count of the season:
https://data.feederwatch.org/pfw/count/summary?id=S231307791
We had 24 species & 79 individuals this week. Over the 6 seasons I have been involved, we have made 147 counts & recorded 38 species. BTW all the Juncos finally left for the summer just as the counts were ending. Have already signed on for next season. Now I'm putting away my "Bird" hat for the season and dusting off the "garden" hat.

I love to watch the birds from my kitchen window 🩷🐦‍⬛

This is the first year I've seen our Robins consistently at our suet. In prior years you might see one curious but mostly unsuccessful and that was it for the year.

This year I see them pecking our upside down suet often, and with a good bit of success.

I wonder what has changed?

Hey, frozen and/or snowed in friends. It’s a hard time to be a bird out there.

If you can, your feathered friends need food, but more importantly they could use some unfrozen water. They can eat snow, but melting it lowers already low body temps and burns calories needed for survival.

BONUS: You’ll likely be the only game in town and get quite a show 🤩

I am enjoying participating in #Feederwatch this year, where you log the birds that come to your feeder. The information gathered is processed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to study songbird populations and migration patterns. https://www.birds.cornell.edu/home

The local goldfinches are starting to come back to color. Though right now they are kind of hilarious looking. This photo sucks. I’m still figuring out how to use the new camera.
