Also during the Great Backyard Bird Count, I captured this Black-capped Chickadee perched above me in the redbud tree.
Perched, redux.

Perched.
During the 2023 /Great Backyard Bird Count, I captured this House Finch and American Goldfinch perched on a feeder.
Life feeds life.
I have fed songbirds for about 15 years, 13 of which here at this home. I count birds for Project FeederWatch and this weekend have counted them for the Great Backyard Bird Count.
A large number of birds of several species visited yesterday, a little more than two days after a major snowstorm. There had been very little activity today, and early this afternoon I saw why.
Sometimes, I feed more than songbirds. A Sharp-shinned Hawk had apparently been keeping watch, and it pounced on a House Finch.
A very talented friend once used the phrase ‘Life feeds life’ as a blog post title. It seemed like an appropriate title for this post.
Great Backyard Bird Count
The GBBC will happen this weekend, Friday through Monday. I plan to submit a checklist every day. If you are an avid birder, casual backyard bird feeder, want to spend a little time outside, I invite you to go to the GBBC site to learn how to participate, report your sightings, review data that others have submitted.
Mourning Doves like these (which I photographed in the backyard) are regular residents, so I expect to report seeing them every day.
