2015 Bird Count

[Catherine]

Wow, what an incredible collection of birds. Your year is off to a good start. I would love to see a wild parrot or a wild cockatoo. They must be incredible in the wild. You live in a birders paradise.

I saw a Northern Cardinal(8). It is the royalty of winter birds.

This is the male:


And this is the female:

I actually like the female's colours more, but the males are much more noticeable.
They form sweet bond pairs and the male will feed the female when they come to the feeder.


Eight birds so far. Not bad for a bleak winter January. Summer will come.
