Some bird photos from the Great Backyard Bird Count (pic heavy)

I saw this thread in GD and decided to participate.

I spent 4 days counting the birds I could see and posting the results at the GBBC website.

I didn't record every bird I saw because I wasn't exactly sure what kind of bird it was. I also didn't take photos of every bird I saw because I was busy counting the smaller birds.

However, I did take some shots after I was finished with my count. I submitted my last report this morning.


American Robin




Blue-Jay






Dark-eyed Junco (we also have the Slate-colored Junco)




Chipping Sparrow (I was shooting through the fence)




Northern Cardinal








Northern Mockingbird










and....of course

That evil bird


Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (a keystone species, btw)


Which I've renamed 'ULittle' for, 'You little @#$%!'.



I had a great time counting birds.
