Birds of Christmas Day















The National Audubon Society, using backyard bird enthusiasts like myself,  conducts a Christmas Bird Count [CBC] from December 14 through January 5.  From year to year, the CBC helps the organization assess the health of bird species in different areas of the country. Though I haven't formally registered (yet) to participate, here, at least, is a list a Christmas Day visitors at my feeders: at least three pairs of male and female Northern Cardinals, Chickadees (White-capped or Carolina?), Tufted Titmice, Downy Woodpeckers, Mourning Doves, Juncos, Blue Jays, Nuthatches, House Sparrows, and Red Bellied Woodpeckers.
