BlankFulton asked us to take part in the feeder count, so I started to
practice, as I am a novice at this.  When a flock visits, they are mostly in
the bushes behind the feeders.  How in heck do I count them???  Back and
forth from bush to feeder, chasing one another and then hidden....yikes!
And, Fulton, since you alerted us to the possibility of dickcissels, I've
been seeing them all over the place.  Of course, I know I'm really seeing
female and immature house sparrows.  I looked at all the photos I could find
in our books and on the internet, and now I'm more confused than ever.  The
"no forehead" advice hasn't helped, but probably that's because I haven't
actually seen a dickcissel yet.

Are there tips for counting that I can read, in the archive or on a website?

Thanks.

Jane Schlosberg
