Interesting to learn about Feederwatch. Another great example of the contribution of citizen scientists. I take part in a regular butterfly survey over the summer months and I always look forward to the start of butterfly season.
"Birds are tough". I will remember that line! They've been around in their current form, far longer than we have in ours. Of all the tetrapods, is there a more successful branch (outside the fish)?

Feederwatch nicely fills the cold, white winter months when butterflies are absent. Something to do every month.
beautiful photo of grosbeak and I am really jealous about the siskins. Please send me the list of all the FeederWatch species!
I will send this link by email as well (the Siskins returned for two minutes this morning - sunflower feeder)

Birds are modern dinosaurs
