Dead house Finch

Found a dead house finch under my feeder today. Looks like it had a head wound.

Here are the pics

Great Backyard Birdcount 2-18-07

First time I participated in this thing but I'm glad I did. This is migration time around here, the end of winter. I went out for an hour and saw:

1 white winged dove
6 inca doves
2 carolina chickadees
2 carolina wrens
1 eastern bluebird
3 Amercian robins
120 Cedar Waxwings
1 northern cardinal
10 Geat tailed Grackle
3 monk parakeets
10 house sparrows.
10 European starlings
1 ruby crowned kinglet

Was most excited to see the waxwings as we only see then during spring and fall migration.

Here's 2 bad pictures of them. (My digital camera loses all kinds of clarity when I go with a high ISO number). Just figured that out.

























Since then I've seen Red bellied woodpeckers, more cardinals and I've heard the Blue Jays and Mourning doves.
