With schools closed and daycare closed, I ended up spending the day at home (North Perry, Lake County) today. The activity at the feeders was sporadic throughout the morning. I think the high winds blowing directly off the lake were responsible. Once the winds went from northeast to northwest feeder activity picked up a bit. A common redpoll made a very brief appearance. It came in with a group of goldfinches. It never could figure out how to use the feeder and left when the goldfinches were scared up by a blue jay. I never saw it again. Other feeder birds of note were eastern towhee, brown creeper, red-breasted nuthatch, and white-throated sparrow. For those counting, I had 22 species at my feeders today. there were a few gulls flying west overhead this afternoon. Most were herring with a few ring-bills and a few great black-backed gulls and an adult GLAUCOUS GULL.
