Been slow. Or cold. Only two birding trips. List is here. I won't post individual birds for the first 100. But both barred owl and sapsucker were found. At 25.
Boy I feel a rookie here with only 126 registered species on my life list. Having 2 years under my belt with Covid restrictions and no travel surely doesn't help but here is to a good 2022

Taking this list from Ebird and it doesn't show in the right order of seeing them unfortunately. I collected these 38 on 4 short outings in and around the village I live, which is Lliçà de Vall in Catalunya - Spain (near Barcelona).
New bird for the new yard, since moving in August:

I tried to get as much birding in this morning before the projected “massive” blizzard hits this afternoon. (As I write this, it has started to snow and sleet). I had a productive morning, adding eight species to my Year List.

71. Lesser Scaup
72. Brown Creeper

I believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen two species of owl on the same day (at least in the US).
Sunday walk at a nearby park yielded a couple more anticipated raptors; I don't expect to be doing as much of the target based birding I once did now that we've got a little one around:
83. American Kestrel
84. Sharp-shinned Hawk
Cold and grey 1 hour morning walk next to the river at Montmelo (next to the circuit de catalunya for the F1 or MotoGP aficionadas) netted me 20 species and 5 new species for the year:
43. Eurasian Kestrel
44. Common Buzzard
45. Cattle Egret
46. Rock Pigeon
47. Iberian Green Woodpecker
Pretty stoked with the Iberian Green woodpecker in plain sight - usually you hear them but not see them so much
