Subject: RE: BS: Birdwatching Challenge
Well, looks like this ol' hillbilly ain't gonna be able to stay inthis compettion 'cause whereas we have lots of birds, the variety isn't to large as yet...

Yeah, this new joint used to be a hog farm and the hogs ate evrything down to the clay and therefore there's a small problem with ecological cycles andf food sources... But I'll get things perkin' over time...

We do have, however:

*hundreds of finches, seem to all be gold (brown now)
*junkos
*titmice
*grouse
*nuthatch
*doeny woodpeckers
*pilated woodpeckers
*chicadees
*pigeons
*doves
*interupted sparrows (?)

But that's it so far... We've got 3 feeders (thistle, black oil and suit) up but other than lots of birds, not much variety yet... Sniff...
