2013 and beyond

It's pretty simple: the most birds seen or heard from one's yard during 2013 will be the "winner". Want in? O.k....then do it despite that.

2013 promises to be a lot less mean but still a carbon-free birding competition, even if slightly less exciting than a MEGA x EPIC hybrid.

IT'S ON BABY!

Walked out into the yard at 8:30AM to find 2 warbler spp. seeping in the canopy, which unfortunately bolted immediately without betraying their identities. However, using BCCH mobbing calls I was able to pull in the following 2 species
Still working out the field marks of the latter species, but I have heard about a little known, very rare (n=1) species (either Anas odorata or Coccyzus coccyx, if memory serves) from the Columbus, OH area which features grotesquely long legs and lots of Roy D Mercer jokes. If anyone can help with its identity please let me know. I believe it's a life yard bird either way...
