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.

Getting fun now

No words are really needed on this one, other than to say I was on the roof last night at 11:20PM listening to migrants pass overhead when this passed low over the house (my mic was recording as I sat up there):
The first part is 172/173, the 2nd part my voice confirming the ID. Listen here:

Heard several other seeps too, and am working through to see if I can nail down any of the several other warblers I still need for the yard...

    This is pretty awesome, one of the best this year. Surprised you didn't mention it's the second time you've scored Dick on your roof.

    Are you interested in joining me up there Kat? Seems to be a good spot for that...
