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.

I passed someone! (sort of)

So last night, as CUDY alluded, I heard 2 flocks of TUSW go over my house. The first sounded like it was alighting on Whitefish Lake, the second clearly flew over heading south. Thanks for the tip!

Also awoke this morning to 2 Purple Finches "pikking" from the treetop above the feeder. This brings me to 69 life yardbirds, which makes me officially ahead of the Boonedoggle's Slab in IL. Yeah, yeah, it's an inactive site, but I need something to keep me going. ANJO you are next boy! Might want to protect yourself and do a little yardbirding??

  1. I have no more likely species to add this year; you must still have some low-hanging fruit for your yard this year, yes? I still need TUSW for the yard so I guess that is one possible...

  2. Whoops, my numbers were still out of date, so I've updated them. Caleb, you need 9 more to catch me this year. Next year I expect you to trounce me with your waterfowl and open field species. And I'll give you a dollar if you get Dickcissel in your yard next year.
