Today I pulled out my count list, and started recording my feeder birds for Project Feederwatch.
The temperature was mild, fifty degrees, with rain. That always means a low bird count, till the weather clears.
Today’s visitors included house sparrows, house finches, blue jays, dark-eyed juncos, mourning doves, black-capped chickadees, and a cooper’s hawk that swooped down and, for a time, scared them all away.

Jan, you’re hoarding the juncos! Send a bunch down yonder, willya? I predicted November 4 for the first one here, but not a peep yet.

I counted 14 chickadees in my bird tree yesterday as well as a woodpecker, a purple finch several blue jays and a mourning dove on the ground.
We, too, are soaked with rain.

I’ve had a Cooper’s Hawk here too so far. Usually they wait till there is snow on the ground. He was sitting on my clothes pole not 20 feet from the back of the garage, and drat it I couldn’t find my camera!
Weather alert scanner just went off warning us of a snow event dumping posibly 12″ of the heavy white stuff on us over night. Guess I’d better get out there and fill the feeders.
Have a good Monday.
