The Great Backyard Bird Count

Red-tailed hawk

Wandesforde Dock

2035 Fairview East

This counts the largest number of a species seen at one time, so if we see 3 crows, then a few minutes later we see 5, the count will be 5, to avoid counting any one individual more than once.

On Saturday 02/14/09  from 1:30 to about 3:00 PM, this being a very casual effort, we counted-

2 Canada Goose
2 Mallard    
4 Double-crested Cormorant
3 Common Merganser
3 Bald Eagle
1 Red-tailed Hawk
1 California Gull   (we gave up counting gulls as we're not good at identifying them)
1 Anna's Hummingbird
2 Northern Flicker
2 American/Northwestern crow
1 Bewick's Wren
1 Yellow-rumped Warbler
1 Song Sparrow
20 House Sparrow

Other common species at this site: Chickadee, Bushtit, Kingfisher, Heron, Grebe
