In BBG this morning the birds were primarily at and around the feeder in the Children's Garden, with a smaller group north of the rose garden. Today's collection:




Red-breasted nuthatch (2)

White-breasted nuthatch (heard)

Red-bellied woodpecker

Downy woodpecker

Northern cardinal (several)

White-throated sparrow (many)

Fox sparrow

Black-capped chickadee (many)

Ring-billed gull (flyover, many)

Yesterday I also saw--for the first time this winter--a few robins in the north end of the garden, but they weren't around today
