I haven&#39;t yet posted my count but I didn&#39;t see many this weekend, compared with what I see on a daily basis! The most were seen today, but I didn&#39;t get to really keep track. We had a lot of high winds Saturday and that really kept them away! Your photo of the grackle is great...he looks evil!Jan@Thanks for today.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443542492752722557.post-63275628164215981502011-02-21T23:57:50.321-05:002011-02-21T23:57:50.321-05:00I love this post Alan. It&#39;s great that your daughter was there counting with you. Love her tally sheet ;-)<br /><br />Nice shots of the various birds and it looks like a beautiful day to sit out on the back porch and help with citizen science!<br /><br />I will be posting today&#39;s (Monday) count from my yard too.Larryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09072345959644694466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443542492752722557.post-63422302685842177692011-02-21T13:42:31.462-05:002011-02-21T13:42:31.462-05:00Oh, now THIS is a great father-daughter bonding moment! <br />I liked the finches, too, Alan.April Lorierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16524821280511872210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443542492752722557.post-61564120625797019262011-02-20T18:08:51.744-05:002011-02-20T18:08:51.744-05:00I am forwarding that site to my grandchildren.I hope they get as interested as your daughter.Carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16774903259772280962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443542492752722557.post-90676607821896720982011-02-20T16:50:19.097-05:002011-02-20T16:50:19.097-05:00The birdcam takes great photos of your backyard birds. I like the idea of teaching your daughter to start watching and counting birds. It can be a life-long hobby.mickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443542492752722557.post-89092998528063429762011-02-20T15:53:56.106-05:002011-02-20T15:53:56.106-05:00Hey Birdchick! thanks for stopping in. I agree it does look a lot like a great-tailed grackle, but according to the range maps they don’t come this far east (SE Virginia). I know that doesn’t mean that one couldn’t venture over. I did check the state tallies for VA on the GBBC site and no one is reporting any great-tails. I&#39;ve got some more photos of this grackle, I&#39;ll investigate further...<br /><br />Thanks Kiirai for stopping by! Yes the Birdcam does catch some interesting photos at times.Alanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07784439710406781235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443542492752722557.post-27564778957474121872011-02-20T15:19:53.930-05:002011-02-20T15:19:53.930-05:00I saw your post via the GBBC Twitter feed on their website.
