I am excited to participate in Project FeederWatch this season. The official start date is November 14th. I will be collecting my data at the intern house here at Audubon Center of the North Woods. I began preliminary observations this past weekend. I was delighted by the visits of Dark-eyed Juncos, White and Red Breasted Nuthataches, Hairy Woodpeckers, Fox Sparrows, and Black-capped Chickadees. Other visitors included: Blue Jays, Red Squirrels, Eastern Chipmunks, and Gray Squirrels. I will post a picture of the Fox
Sparrows soon. One of the White-breasted Nuthaches bore a small grey bird band. I suspect it was one that was banded here at Audubon, but I did not have the time to read the numbers. If you are interested in Project FeederWatch,
