This week's featured birds are an American Robin, Common Grackle, House Finch, American Goldfinch, and Red-Bellied Woodpecker.
I typically watch and count birds on Saturday and Sunday. This is my report for 26-27 March 2022.
An early morning visitor to my feeder area during the weekend was this squirrel.

Amazing photos 😍. I am following you now to see more. Thanks!👍
Great photos and I love the range maps. I get all these birds at my feeder in Vermont plus a few like the red belly nuthatch and lately the white throated sparrow. I always look at the breeding/year round lines on the range maps. We have a few birds that seem interested in starting nests but no finished nests yet 🙂 This is our first year in Vermont so its exciting to see what visitors we get!
A few of the birds here are building nests around my house. A robin is building a next under my covered entry way (front porch).
The birds of spring really showed up this past weekend. Look for the photos in a week or so. I plan to feature the Yellow-headed Blackbird.
HIVE On,
Mike
👍Thank you for your helpful observations and information.
I could swear that I have seen them in my area opening holes in trees, thanks to this practice they are often called "carpenters". If they are not the same species they have an incredible resemblance.
thank you so much for sharing a great project, have a great day and a great week
thank you very much for sharing information about the project, have a good day and a great mood
