yard birds

[Brian Murphy <brmurphy@mindspring.com>]

I have a very old  large apple tree that hangs over my deck, it is a magnet 
for woodpeckers (along with the 4 suet feeders) . Today I had 3 Downy's, 1 
Red Bellied, and 2 Sapsucker's all in the tree at the same time.

Summary of my yard  birds(backyard plus fields) during the past 3 snow 
covered days. (Highest counts came morning after  snow)  No Blackbirds. 
Have only been visited once this winter by a group of 9 Cowbirds.  House 
Finches scarce the past week. No Purple Finches since Christmas.
