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.

Aythya plus some photos

Nabbed another new species this evening in the form of a lone drake Ring-necked Duck (#42, and #78 life) on the pond that quickly flew back into a more secluded corner behind the beaver lodge. I thought the bulk of the waterfowl had already moved through, so it was a nice surprise. The coot was still there this aft, I'll try to snag a photo of it tomorrow. Here are a couple recent pictorial highlights.

    Funny Fitz, I'm still waiting for them to show up in MQT!

  2. Yeah they're somewhere between us. There are absolutely no migrant geese left, and I have to spend all day hitting spots to fill out a checklist of the common dabs and divers at productive marshes and lakes around here. You'll have them as soon as we get a nice south breeze that makes it up your way a few days in a row.
