PFW - Week 16: Snow & Birds

Saturday morning it was snowing between 7:00 and 8:00 which brought in more birds than I've seen in a while. Once the snow stopped and the sun came out, bird activity declined once again. But you know, even though it's only February, I am yearning more and more for Spring. This cold weather is growing old. Tulips and daffodils in bloom are being reported to the south so hopefully Spring is not too far off for St Louis.

Bird numbers weren't great as has been the case here, but I did have seven different species including the two winter birds: White-throated Sparrow and Dark-eyed Junco. And a pair of Mourning Doves has started to come around on regular basis this past week or so.
  • Mourning Dove 2
  • Song Sparrow 1
  • White-throated Sparrow 2
  • Dark-eyed Junco 1
  • Northern Cardinal 2
  • House Finch 2 (0 with eye disease)
  • House Sparrow 3
