So how is your 2007 list going? (1 Viewer)

[Nightjar61]

Added ten more birds to my Year List today, bringing it up to 469.

460. Wild Turkey
461. Black Vulture
462. Sandhill Crane
463. Horned Lark
464. Fox Sparrow
465. White-throated Sparrow
466. Bullock's Oriole
467. Brown Thrasher
468. Eastern Towhee
469. Red-shouldered Hawk

The Bullock's Oriole is a first record for Indiana, and is therefore an Indiana state lifer. It has been coming to a feeder and surviving on suet since early January, but has become public only recently.

[Larry Lade]

Today around Lake Contrary, Saint Joseph, Missouri, I was able to add two more birds to this year's list.

99. Northern Bobwhite, there were eleven birds in a loose covey, resting in a harvested corn field. (Six males and five females.) It is very unusual to observe them so far from the cover of bush/hedges/trees.
100. Prairie Falcon, a single bird harassing some European Starlings.
