[cobirds] Yard birds - Douglas (Franktown)

Cobirds has seen a dearth of reports recently, so here's a brief one on our yard birds.

The snow has brought us a big influx - no surprise. The number of species (18-20) and the number of birds seem relatively normal (except for a dozen Spotted Towhees) but these guys have stayed around all day, snowing or not.

We have one continuing Fox Sparrow (who shows up sporadically & unpredictably, and usually stays only a minute or less).

Check any Song Sparrow-like bird that you see: our Fox Sparrow looks similar except that it has bright orange tail & primaries.

Today, the Turkeys haven't descended upon us -- hooray. We see up to 50 in the neighborhood most days.
