I saw a new year bird as I was pulling into the parking lot at my store, bringing my Year List up to 459. Doesn't get any easier than that.

459. Sharp-shinned Hawk

Frozen Hawk

I know it was called cold! I just saw my year's first Red-shouldered Hawk sitting out there. It's very, very cold today and that bird must be frigid sitting there up in the tree. I hope that its feathers make good insulation.
And that's #25.

Popped over to the coast at Cresswell Pond yesterday afternoon to de-stress after a nightmare morning at work!!!! I work with idiots and imbeciles - a chimp could do better!!!!!!
But minutes after arriving I could feel the stresses just washing away - who needs a massage? Just pick up the binoculars - always works for me!!! And getting a Lifer always helps too...one tick closer to reaching that elusive 200 which I'm aiming for this year.

72: SHORE LARK * Lifer No. 185 * :loveme:
73: Linnet
74: Skylark
75: Twite

80: Pink-footed Goose

Due to tight work constraints, not much birding this year (in fact it's by far my slowest start...), but quality is proving over quantity....

88 - PACIFIC DIVER!!! (Obvious lifer.... once the BOU decide to spit it!!)
