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.

Ahhhh, lifer.


Two Common Redpolls made a showing in the yard today ... (#25, #166). I like February surprises and yesterday's Eastern Chipmunk bested last years by 10 days!

NEWSFLASH - Update Escanaba. An open lead in Little Bay de Noc is developing and the ducks can't be far behind. An eagle on Portage Point was my first for the yard this year. An immy Coop was nice too.

    That's on the top of my yard wish list. We've had a handful make it down to VA this late winter (even a few to NC), and if ever there were a time ...

    Nice score, Kat. Could be another few years till Putzville sees that species again...
