Try here:I just found this thread and can add the birds I’ve seen in my yard since January 1. My yard is located in northern West Virginia. Birds marked with an asterisk would be new for the World list, and all would be new for the North America list. Unfortunately I can’t figure out how to make additions to the spreadsheet.

It's amazing how good the Dunnocks are at hiding. They'll be out in song here on the first nice day!This afternoon, during a good walk, I added hawfinch and Dunnock to my green list. Dunnock is also new for "europe" list.
I think that before the migratory period I have little left to observe on foot routes from my house ... I will have to recover the bicycle routes and thus get closer to the riverbank forest areas or the steppe bird areas that surround my town.

Nice! I thought about going on 1 January when I was staying a bit closer (and which was the only day without Dutch shoppers blocking the road to Antwerp), but that would have meant a 5.5 h car journey which sounded like a bad idea. Definitely won't do it from my home (7 h round-trip): Siberia's summers are hot enough already...This morning.
Not very sharp, sorry. The bird is pretty showy, but quite flighty most of the time -- it sat on the pier just once and for less than a minute while I was there. For slightly better pics (of the bird, not of my bicycle ), see here.
Are you in the countryside? Magpies are much more common in or at the edge of the town where I live than in the agriculture and forests around it.What a strange place this can be - still no magpie or starlings!
