It was a chilly start to this year’s count, with lows hovering around -15°C. My circuit of my local patch started slowly, but proved to be quite birdy in the end (15 species). Most action was focused around areas adjacent to residential yards, where I suspect feeders have been installed, as the mix of birds was very 'feedery' in those areas. It was the birdiest day I've had at this spot for some time, and based on recent visits, was not expecting such variety. The continuing pair of Carolina Wrens were observed excavating a hollow in a tree trunk.
