Cow-headed Jaybird
I was out and on the road at 8:00 this morning. My first 3 birds for the year:
House Sparrow, European Starling, Rock Dove :clap: . I hope that isn't a bad omen....
I'll follow-up this thread with new sightings. The current yearly total will be shown in my .Sig
All birds that I have photos for will be in blue. Lifer photos will be in bold blue
Birds without photos will be in black, lifers without photos will be in bold black.
I will also post pictures when I am able to take them. But the pics may not be from the same day that I am reporting the species to this list. But the pics will all be from this year.
Follow-up posts will only include new species.
Please, if you think I have misidentified any species on this photo list, send me a PM. I would appreciate it!
===============================
The List :
===============================
American Crow
American Kestrel
Blue Jay
Canada Goose
Carolina Chickadee
Common Raven
Dark-eyed Junco
Downy Woodpecker
European Starling
Great Blue Heron
Hermit Thrush
House Sparrow
Mourning Dove
Northern Cardinal
Northern Flicker
Northern Mockingbird
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Red-tailed Hawk
Rock Dove
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Turkey Vulture
White-breasted Nuthatch
White-throated Sparrow
Winter Wren
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Running total: 26
Interesting (to me) note - this count of 26 species today represents 1/3 of my total local-area year list for last year. Last year was my first birding year and many of the species I ticked today were seen and allowed to go un-ticked because I could not identify them due to inexperience last year. I think I am improving
