Meanwhile, we’re back in Erie, Pennsylvania for the Great Backyard Bird Count! //www.birdcount.org/ Wishing everyone a great weekend – hope you see (and count!) lots of great birds!
Following a ‘warm’ Wednesday and a rainy Thursday, it turned icy and snowy overnight with temps Friday in the lower 20’s (deg F). Regular, light snow throughout the day. Conditions were less than ideal for being outside. Nevertheless, counted ten species here in Millcreek Twp (“Gateway to Presque Isle State Park”):
- Northern Cardinal (m & f)
- Dark-eyed Junco
- Robin
- Red-bellied Woodpecker
- Pileated Woodpecker
- Crow
- Canadian Goose – large formation flying far overhead, heading west
- Tufted Titmouse
- Mourning Dove
- House Sparrow
Not a bad showing of representative “all winter long” species!
Time to kick off the weekend with some mostly mediocre bird photos from today’s action!
