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.

68. Common Merganser
69. Common Goldeneye
70. Red-headed Woodpecker
71. Lesser Scaup
72. Brown Creeper
73. Eastern Towhee
74. Eastern Screech Owl
75. Great Horned Owl

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
 
Did a quick one hour walk around my local patch as I had some time between meetings and needed to get some air and stretch my legs

40. Rock Bunting
41. Coal Tit
42. Great Spotted Woodpecker
 
Two new birds seen while birding from the car along back roads this afternoon.

76. Northern Harrier
77. Sharp-shinned Hawk

Dave
 
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
