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.

Then Kaplan rubs it in with his night after night after freakin' night of Yellow Rail. Geez, enough already with the tic, tic. . . tic, tic, tic!
