January 1st joint Birdforum list (2017 edition) (1 Viewer)

[jasperpatch]

Though not new to the North American list for the day, I can add:
American Robin
Northern Cardinal
Rock Pigeon
taking our Canadian offering to 13! Go Team Canada Go!:clap:

Whoop! And I am back from a full day outside, and can add
Red-tailed Hawk
and Pileated Woodpecker. 15 for us! We rock!

Fairly pleased with 11 of those on my New Years list. Two higher than last year, so can't be bad.

Also added red squirrel to our mammal tally.
Happy New Year everyone. And good birding in the year ahead.

 

[kb57]

Total of 47 today in Northumberland - doubt I added anything to the overall UK list, maybe merlin and grey plover?
To aid compilation on the slim chance there's anything else unique, I've added my Scythebill spreadsheet export as a CSV file -IOC taxonomy.
Divers and sea duck conspicuous by their absence on the coast today in a strong northerly with heavy seas.

[Fiscalshrike]

Well done Jasperpatch. It was a nice day to be out compared to some years and pretty indicative of the next 2 months in Eastern Canada. A dirth of birds.

 

[Tiraya]

Yellow-rumped warbler (Audubon's ssp.) calling in the garden this morning, nothing else so far.

 

[jasperpatch]

Well done Jasperpatch. It was a nice day to be out compared to some years and pretty indicative of the next 2 months in Eastern Canada. A dirth of birds.

Indeed. But always a couple of surprises if you keep your eyes open. And variation if you venture out. I'm only 30km or so from Ottawa, and we've not had a Northern Cardinal up here! Ever hopeful.
