Great Backyard Bird Count

Here's the results I posted to The Great Backyard Bird Count. I should have filled the feeders earlier during the weekend so more of our regulars would have had time to find them; it was also quite windy, which seemed to keep some birds away. We actually got a thunderstorm during the end of the count, which helped to stir up the herons and egrets in the Laguna, which brought them into binocular range, so we got a nice assortment here.

• Double-crested Cormorant - 1
• Great Blue Heron - 1
• Great Egret - 13
• Turkey Vulture - 2
• Red-shouldered Hawk - 1
• Ring-billed Gull - 1
• Western Scrub-Jay - 2
• American Crow - 9
• Oak Titmouse - 1
• California Towhee - 2
• Dark-eyed Junco - 2
• House Finch - 2
• American Goldfinch - 3
