Backyard Bird Count and multi-tasking

This is the second day the girls have been diligently observing our yard and noting the number of birds for the Great Backyard Bird Count going on this weekend around the country (you can still join in if you're interested). Yesterday G. spotted a couple of blue jays while she was observing the yard.

We've got the comfortable recliner set up in front of our large living room window for the weekend for this project. This morning during L.'s bird-watching shift, she was a little tired since we didn't get in from the Pirates game until late last night.

But after a few minutes of watching the feeder with no birds in sight, L. decided to solicit some bird-watching helpers to join her -- our cats Dulce and Lupus. I'm fairly certain the cats didn't care for L.'s multi-tasking (i.e., dressing them up) while watching for birds and am guessing that Dulce and Lupus are hoping the feathered guys come back to the feeder tomorrow during her next bird watching shift.
