New for the year and new for the yard: Common Goldeneye. That's 26/149. Two flew over this evening heading for the big lake and their buddies. There are several thousand along the coastline right now.
Its time to keep an ear out for American Woodcock. This is the week I usually start to get them. Who will be first? Those with the right habitat around their yards? BEWA? CAPU?

I don't know if I will be getting any this week, I got 10 inches of snow cover on the ground. Will give it a shot though.
