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.

CONI Island

After 2.5 weeks of solid dusk watching at The Wastelands, I finally landed my year's CONI tic (year #58). The initial detection came with about 0.18466283 seconds (which subsequently, at The Wastelands, is the same amount of horizon degree viewage that I have) worth of obs time of a fly-by individual just before it banked out of my sight line. After a few more minutes, I had two more nighthawks fly directly over me, and low. These birds are simply amazing...I would have to say my favorite species of the year so far.

    Hey Slages...I thought I recalled your making mention of getting CONI at your slab nightly. Maybe you better check The List. I do believe this specy is missing from your tally. If this is accurate...."for shame!"

    Just some birding lingo (pronounced "speh-see" in case you're confused) from an old lingo phase me and a few birding buddies went through back in the day...I'm sure you can appreciate weird birding lingo there ancient-boy.
