The lousy weather continues in Nova Scotia with more snow and wind. All the birds know it's spring though since they are all singing. 

This has been the winter of the finch, with daily tallies at our place in Portuguese Cove as follows:

Goldfinch(100-200)

Purple Finch(50-100)

Pine Siskin(10-20), my Spirit Bird!

Other attendees at our feeders or seen nearby from our house are:

White-throated Sparrow(30-50)

Black-capped Chickadee(10-30)

Song Sparrow(20-40)

Tree Sparrow(5-10)

Starlings(50-100 but erratic)

Blue Jay(20-50)

Mourning Dove(10-50), depending on the weather)

Red-breasted Nuthatch(2)

Plus lots of sea ducks and aerial birds.

I think we're spending more money feeding our birds this winter than ourselves and our three cats.
