These are some of my yard birds, I counted last weekend during the Cornell Lab's Great Backyard Bird Count weekend.  The GBBC is an online citizen-science project. Do you watch your backyard birds, have bird feeders set up in your yard and garden? These were all birds just seen from my dining room window. My count varied on Feb 14-17th with 13-15 species of birds seen just from one window. 

 Below some of the birds seen were the Eastern Bluebird, Downy Woodpecker, American Goldfinch, House Finch, Dark-eyed Junco, White-throated Sparrow, Carolina Wren. American Crows were seen flying over the yard. When filling my feeders I heard a Pileated Woodpecker drumming on a tree.

The pretty male Eastern Bluebird.  I was most surprised when 4 Eastern Bluebirds showed up on Feb 15th. They were checking out my birdhouses.

 I am calling this a Downy Woodpecker but it seemed larger in size could it be a Hairy Woodpecker.

 On the feeder below I can see 3 American Goldfinches and one male House Finch.

 A cute American Goldfinch, maybe a female?

the Dark-eyed Junco was sitting on top one our birdhouses. 

Some birds like this White-throated Sparrow likes to sit in our blueberry bushes. 

 I kept my bird count from the comfort of my house, just keeping a count of how many birds from each species was seen at one time. The Dark-eyed Junco took the highest count with 11 Juncos being seen at one time on our deck.
