Have not had time for birding today, but did notice one new year tick on the feeders this morning:

70. Eurasian Jay
 
A fairly successful day today, adding eight species to my Year List.

48. Red-tailed Hawk
49. Winter Wren
50. Common Grackle
51. Green-winged Teal
52. Rusty Blackbird
53. American Black Duck
54. Eastern Meadowlark
55. Wild Turkey

This has been a strange winter. Unseasonably warm weather means that many birds that should not be here are still around. I usually don’t see grackles or meadowlarks until late March or early April.

Yesterday I did a full day for 90 species (see the 1 Jan BF list thread for the full list: highlights included a Peregrine, Med Gull, Whimbrel, Cetti's Warbler, Cattle Egret and a female Red-crested Pochard). Today (2 Jan) I had a morning only due to incoming rain. My local common supplied Stonechat and Dartford Warbler among common additions to the year list while a local regular Tawny Owl was the real highlight. 2022 list now stands at 102. Once over a hundred I relax a bit each year!
