[CT Birds] Quantity not quality?

[John D Babington]

Frankly I was just amazed at the "Quantity not Quality" posting. Since when do we start rating birds as not being of "quality"? I suppose if one is big into listing one gets jaded with not seeing that bird that one whats for whatever list one is keeping. Frankly I enjoyed the show at my one feeder here in Washington, CT during the snow storm yesterday. I was doing Feeder Watch for Cornell on Friday and today (Saturday, Feb 23). I had six cardinals siting in the snow by my feeder, lovely and record number of cardinals for me for Feeder Watch. I also had a 8 white-throated sparrows, another Feeder Watch record for me. I was hard pressed to find a chickadee or titmouse at my feeder during the storm. Blue jays, mourning doves, white-throats, and juncos seemed to rule the feeder during the storm. I must admit to even having a couple of starlings, which I do not get often for Feeder Watch. Today the chickadees and titmouse are back at my feeder. Hey enjoy all
 the birds folks. Quantity is also quality.
