Mountain Chickadee
We live on 25 acres on sort of a mountain (at 2,900 ft). The property is mostly open field, with lots of edge habitat and quite a lot of pine woods with lots of serviceberry mixed in in places, and some fir. It seems to be very good for birds, and we've lived here about 15 years (since I was 6 months old...). The property list stands at 128, with many additions the last few years when I really started going out often. There have been 2 additions this year: Blue Jay and Golden Eagle. I do count flyovers And I must admit that I count it if it's pretty close, even if it's not quite within the limits and I'm not quite in the property... But I think all but maybe one or two have now been seen within the property limits.
I haven't seen several of these birds; my dad saw them while I was too little to care. But they still count for the property checklist, of course!
