Re(3): Winter Feeder Birds Posted on December 17, 2016 at 01:14:58 AM by Bob Bowles
This is great information Cliff. I made a summary for December, 2016 feeder birds which will probably change in January, 2017. I see you went over the maximum with two species. I divided it up with the top 10 of the 30 species of feeder birds and then the next 10 with the last 10 occurring in low or no numbers. Change the order around to best reflect the species visiting your feeder.
