Nothing new to add for December, as it was not a good month for bird watching here. I'm sure a lot of them, that did not have their little feet frozen solidly to large trees, were blown all the way to Ontario on hurricane force winds.
After I add in a crow, which is common, but I have never put on my list, my total is 30 for 2006. Not an impressive number either, but I'm still thrilled to pieces. In 2006 I managed to see three birds new to me, the black headed grosbeak, a golden crowned sparrow and a Hutton's vireo.
Thank you for suggesting this Raptor. I've really enjoyed it and if it hadn't been for you, I would probably never have bothered to get a rat and squirrel proof bird feeder. Thanks again.
