4 crows (yes, I'm sure-part of the resident flock)
3 not sure-small birds that fly out of the trees & across the road every morning as I'm driving into the parking lot at work
1 different not sure-thought about flying into the right side of my car as I drove home but made a U turn just in time...

That's it for today!

Nice coopers hawk on my dad's birdbath, eyeing the feeders wing's length from him (or her).

Those feeders are a regular Old Country Buffet: cardinals, redwing blackbirds, sparrows of many descriptions, house finches, goldfinches, doves, bluejays, waxwings and even bluebirds sometimes . . . mallards come to eat what falls from the feeders . . . all sorts of stuff. Lots and lots more.

not yesterday, though . . .

just Mr. Coop.  Go figure Wink

did see Canada Geese in great numbers all over the place.

In the past 10 minutes... an amazing passage of House Martins above the garden. I'm guessing hundreds! Quite the spectacle. Safe journey, you lovely things!! Come back soon.

2 kettles of Turkey Vultures
2 probably blue jays-size was right & they were doing the single flap/bullet glide of a blue jay
Small flock of LBJs
3 mourning doves

V. impressive mixed Corvid flock... maybe 80+? Mostly Jackdaws, but a few Rooks knocking about. Did not see any Hooded (Grey) Crows, tho they are a bit more circumspect about their associations.
