Spent 40 minutes out in the cold and saw the following species. 5 species were new for the year and here's the complete checklist.
Welcome Skye, and Aaron should be on board soon.
Canada Goose - 7
Cooper's Hawk* - 1
Red-tailed Hawk* - 2
Mourning Dove - 7
American Crow - 2
Black-capped Chickadee - 4
European Starling - 78
American Tree Sparrow* - 19 (high count for the "yard"...thanks to two feeders within view from my designated area)
Dark-eyed Junco* - 13
Northern Cardinal - 1
American Goldfinch* - 1
House Sparrow - 6
Bonus mammal:
Coyote - 1
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.
