This week's featured birds are a Northern Cardinal, Downy Woodpecker, and Red-bellied Woodpecker.
I typically watch and count birds on Saturday and Sunday. This is my report for 23-24 April 2022. This is my last report for the FeederWatch season.

My grandma always says, "If you see a cardinal, it means someone is thinking of you." :)
