With a mostly free weekend, I had the opportunity to spend a couple
hours "working" in front of the feeder window. Not an atypical day at
the feeders, but after a while, I took a stroll down the road. It
immediately became evident that there was lots of activity in the
woods. Lots of the birds I was seeing at the feeder would make very
brief appearances, and some, like the Red-bellied never came in. It
has definitely been a weird winter.

In the first two months of 2011 I had 13 species on 24 checklists, so
far this year I have 22 species on 12 checklist for the property.
