What the heck is a hooded merganser? I was going to look it up then thought, no. I'm lazy. I'd have counted the towhees as two, just 'cause.

Here are the tallies for Maryland (you can gets all kinds of details on this page).

We were gonna count, but we were really busy Saturday, and had a gaggle of people over Sunday for the race. One of our friends started counting, but there were too many people around and she lost count! Could have had something to do with the !! Maybe next year!!

We have been seeing lots of different birds the last week or so. Hope that means Spring is just around the corner!!

It's a species of duck. Usually found in the rivers & bays.

My favorite is the lil Brown Creeper, I have 3 that feed off the ground under the suet feeders.
