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'll take what I can get

A brief flurry (no, not snow, that's almost unheard of here this year) of activity in the tree line to the west this morning. 23 AMRO, 14 CEDW & 2 NOFL were helpful in making the Kitty uncomfortable. This is the first serious birding I have done in the yard in ten days. How is it possible that I'm tied for third with such little effort?! Come on slackers pick up the pace! I'm at it full tilt from here on!

    Good to hear Bricker. We were beginning to wonder what the deal was. Glad you picked up the species I've had already for weeks up here in lonely Montcalm Co....

    Hey *itch, you jump ahead with a tie? SLAP.

    Make it right. You know the rules.

    Ha! Rules!? I'm just following the example Haas set when he did the same to me recently. How about if I simply take care of the prob by adding WITU?

      ...and I ain't talkin' about the bourbon - although Joe will need a gallon of it when this year's race is over.

    I defend my right to jump ahead with a tie! "there ain't no rules in bedpan racing!"

    Really Rick, following Skye? I guess we all have our leaders.

      How profound, since you're following me right now.
