Yesterday, a friend of mine and I spent the day counting birds at Hidden Lake Gardens for the Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count. We spent the entire day, from sunrise to nearly sundown seeking out and counting birds in all corners of the property. By the end of the day I was Jaded (hence the photo of the Jade Plant)…exhausted and overworked but also refreshed and relaxed from all the fresh air. I didn’t see as many species as I had hoped. But we had fun nevertheless.
Here is our final tally for the day…
Mourning Dove-1
Red bellied woodpecker-4
Downy WP-6
Blue Jay-18
American Crow-17
Black Capped Chickadee-43
Tufted Titmouse-10
White-breasted Nuthatch-6
Golden Crowned Kinglet-2
Eastern Bluebird-4
Cedar Waxwing-170
Dark eyed Junco-8
Northern Cardinal-8
Pine Siskin-13
American Goldfinch-5
The Heron 
Thanks for helping with the count. I can wait until the next count season.
No problem, I had a lot of fun.
