2022 Birding Journal Observations - January / February

One of only Two goldfinch I hosted in 2022
The only cold weather experienced in the Lowcountry over winter, was mostly limited to the first two months of 2022. Rainfall was average in January, but then tapered off sharply in February, and by the end of the month a couple oof new record high temps had been set. During the cold days there was excellent birding to be found in the backyard, with a couple of special visitors including female red-winged blackbird and brown creeper. The most stunning thing was the absence of goldfinches (I only had two total) after a record amount of them on the thistle feeder in 2021.
