The Great Backyard Bird Count, Day 4 (Feb. 18, 2008)
Today, the last day of the GBBC, was a rainy, balmy President’s Day and from our vantage points, it looked like many of the local birds decided to stay dry. The sun started to peek out around mid-afternoon. It was a slow day for birding, so, not much to report.
Here is today’s tally:
- Blue Jay – 2
- Dark-eyed Junco – 5
- House Sparrow – 8
- Northern Cardinal – 2
All told, it was a successful GBBC weekend. However, I was disappointed not to see any Black-capped Chickadees or Tufted Titmice, as well as nothing out of the ordinary. Well, there’s always next year.

Your blog got me out of the house to fill my tower of feeders, too bad I was sick for the weekend, we could have drawn more birds to the area.
Wait until the other neighbors take down that large Rhodendrum bush, that has a few nests and offers cover as for our winged friends as they go back and forth between feeders, our numbers will go down then.
That’s why you need to plant a tree or two in your back yard.
Yea, a rhodendrum bush 3 feet away from the one they are taking down
