No, the last 4 were from a visit to New Jersey shore. LOL! I didn't know this was our own place/yard only?

Yes, your sightings from your own (or rented) yard only. And only from one place at a year. (=> Not from every garden you might own.)
I thought that next new woodpecker in my garden would be Grey-headed but yeasterday:
#24. White-backed Woodpecker - Female visited couple of times and ate apple! :eek!: I didn't know they do that... Anyway, It's a nice to have garden lifers. :king: I hope this isn't the only one for this year.

From a few years back I recall you could have multiple sites, on the basis that it's a kinda fun thing (and presumably as long as you don't mix them).
... so if you regularly visit a relative's garden for an extended visit, why not, as long as you don't pretend it's yours? If you own eg a summer cabin, count that, but separately.
Agree you can't count a whole state or country though
(...what is land ownership anyway?!)

Correct, no reason not to have a list for separate places, holiday home, town flat, chateau where you live most of the time
, but not all added together on one list!

How many of yours can you see from your current abode? #wheredidiputthatchateaunow

Mmm. Starling might even be a year tick, can't recall.
Can't you just string a nutcracker into one?

Very nice, you're on a roll of good birds, and to get it on video too! I still need WB for the WP.

Yer cheeky monkey, stop casting nasturtiums as my Gran used to say. Took a picture of our humble abode for you on my way back from the village just now, we are of course the little one in the middle, we’m simple folk oh arr.
Three species seen on my walk that haven’t made it onto 2020’s Garden List ( Starling8-P, Goldcrest and Long-tailed Tit), so hoping for some additions soon.

Ha, that wasn't a slight on your personal birding credentials ... any report of a vagrant Nutcracker in the UK, garden or otherwise,usually turns out to be a nicely spotted Starling, so why not reverse string??
Need to photograph my back garden to showcase the amazing wildlife habitats here in the UK for this thread ...

First one I've seen in the garden since May 2018. Though it was here so briefly who knows how many have nipped in and out without me noticing!

You are absolutely right. I had forgotten this, sorry.

46. Nuthatch - one heard calling not too far away.
Almost three weeks since my last addition - it has been very quiet. The storm on Sunday an a bit of wet snow on Monday produced nothing different at all.
