Project FeederWatch - Week 14

Nothing terribly exciting or truly notable to report for this week's observance for Project FeederWatch. Most noteworthy aspect of today's watch was the somewhat sizable numbers of the Northern Cardinal (5), Tufted Titmouse (7) and the always noisy, feisty and aggressive House Finch (12). Still hoping one day one of those wily, elusive and nomadic winter finches will come along (ie Common Redpoll, Pine Siskin or White-winged Crossbill), but I don't hold out much hope. As always, below is the full list of my time spent admiring the local birds. Happy birding everyone!!
