Hello!
I was interested in adding my 2? to the backyard bird count but have found
the experience very frustrating. Frankly, I don't really know what I'm doing..
I have a number of feeders in a smallish back yard and probably have about 25
to 30 siskins coming to the feeders at times, but they (and the house finches
and the house sparrows ...) keep flitting in and out of the trees and bushes..
They just can't be counted one at a time. So, the numbers I come up with can
only be estimates.
Is there a trick I'm missing? Are estimates what everyone gives?
Help!
