Re: Great Backyard Bird Count

I had an American Tree Sparrow down here - one of those birds that come here for the winter from the Arctic. Had a flock of seven bluebirds at my birdbath which has heat to keep it unfrozen. Does anyone in the midwest know when the wrens start nesting? I have a wren box that I want to clean out before they start looking to set up housekeeping.

Interesting cause my mourning doves never leave here... actually some of
their friends where here for the last few weeks. Looked out my kitchen
window the other day and must have been 20 of them sitting on the
screenroom supports. Getting a bit crowded for everyone here these
days...

I don't have a lot of winter birds here... mostly chickadee and quail.

I haven't seen my mourning doves for a while. They must be at your
house!
I have a flock of juncos, some cardinals, goldfinches, house finches,
a
chickadee, tufted titmouse, nuthatch, flicker, downy woodpecker, blue
jay,
mockingbird, crow, and a ring-billed gull today, along with a couple
of
starlings and a circling turkey vulture a bit to the south. It's fun
just
to sit down and pay attention to who's here every now and then.
