Overall: This was my 2nd biggest of the Season. I was surprised because I was expecting a slower week due to female birds on nests. A huge week of Mourning Doves this week. I usually only have 120 a week, but this week was double that.
Non-feeder birds: 4 Coopers Hawk (hunting), 140 Turkey Vultures (hunting), 4 Eastern Phoebes (singing), 12 Chimny Swifts (flying)
