I would like to start by saying hello to everyone I'm new as of last night. I live in Wisconsin and have started a Big Year. 2 days ago I spotted in my first day ever doing a Big Year. The very first bird I saw was an American Goldfinch awesome and that set the pace for me I said bring it nature.

7 White-breasted Nuthatch = Bird Feeder
8 Sandhill Crane = Heard it from farm field about 1/2mile

10 Ruby-throated Hummingbird = Nectar feeder
Day 2
11 Turkey Vulture = Soaring over tops of forest trees

15 Canada Goose = Nesting in a thick of Cattails on Golden Lake
