I shifted to a mid-morning recording time (9:30-11:00) and was rewarded with more bird species—21 altogether! All have been detected previously (either this year or in previous years).

• Black-capped chickadee
• Tufted titmouse
• Red-bellied woodpecker
• Northern cardinal
• Dark-eyed junco
• House finch
• House sparrow

• Eastern bluebird
• Song sparrow
• American goldfinch
• Hairy woodpecker
• Brown creeper

I can’t wait for the weather to warm up enough to open the windows wide.
