That's impressive. In the UK we have a citizen science thing called The Big Garden Bird Watch which happens at the end of January every year and everyone is encouraged to count the garden birds seen in a one hour period in their garden and report it to the RSPB. I've been doing it for years and it's a great project. Sadly, we can't feed the birds in our garden becasue we very quickly get rats!
We have an equivalent to the Big Garden Bird Watch and also have "Feederwatch" that runs right through the winter months. It's very enjoyable and informative.
I always love the little wrens! We are seeing a lot of stellar jays this winter- always a welcome sight as are the mobs of puffy little bushtits that are a rarer sight in winter but who seem to love our old cement bird bath! Due to our mild winter it still has water which the little fluffs bathe in.

Very interesting read by a birder from over the pond. Also keeping various lists.
