28. Sharp-shinned Hawk - this guy came down and just massacred one of the happy House Finches munching away at my feeder! Great sight - I can see now why the Sharpie's not to distant cousin is referred to as a "Sparrowhawk." Also 1st Sharpie of '06.

Three garden lifers this year! (Start date 01/01/2004)

Figures upto date to a couple of days ago - but we only record species not numbers in the garden (at the moment).

Still stuck in the mid-sixties (the list, not me), but have added Waxwing and Woodcock over the past month - but still none too shabby for a postage stamp plot in the middle of a village!

I have 127. I have northern bobwhite, wild turkey, 13 species of warblers, and black vulture among others, but I am missing rock dove, believe it or not...

It has been quite a while since I have added a new bird to our yard list. However, with the spead of the Eurasian Collared-Dove, originating from birds in Florida; it seems inevitable that they will probably be wide spead in the US before much longer. A few days ago I added this Dove to our list. This is our yard bird #136.

Last time I checked I had 131, but I may have forgotten a few. Highlights on my list include:

24 species of warblers, including Golden and Blue-winged, Orange-crowned and Pine Warblers.
"Brewster's" Warbler, a hybrid between Golden-winged and Blue-winged Warblers
Sandhill Crane
American Woodcock
Solitary Sandpiper
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Wood, Swainson's, Gray-cheecked and Hermit Thrushes, and Veery.

There are many more.... I've lived at this same place for my whole life. Not the best yard, only an acre, but it has a lot of mature trees and some underbrush.

My current home list is 42--postage stamp yard, 3 blocks from busy road, and lots of people tromping around. I've been here just over 2-1/2 years and am moving, starting this weekend, to a bigger, quieter, woodsier place. I already have four birds, before I've even moved in, which I saw in about 15 minute in the back yard while looking the place over: Carolina chickadee, mourning dove, tufted titmouse, and white-breasted nuthatch. I will begin taking boxes over the day after tomorrow, and hope and expect the list to grow quickly!

Not 100% sure how many species, but did add Cuckoo to the list last year and so far this year I've added Little Owl!! It's probably just over 30 now!?

Hi, Dally! I see this is your first post, so a warm welcome to you from all of us on staff here at BirdForum!

Just logged species #114 for the yard: Acorn Woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus). I always get them on various counts but have never had one in the yard in the 4 1/2 years I've lived here. They're sure great clown faces with their white eyes and red, yellow, black and white patterned head.
