Another very cold day, starting out at 7ºF and ending up in the 20s. Once again, no new birds for the count, but I was able to photograph and Canada Goose flock and audio record some House Sparrows for the photo and audio big year. Thank goodness for the photo and audio goals of my backyard big year, or I would be going crazy trying to see a new bird right now!
I was outside from 7:15-8:50am and 10am-11am, with additional time at windows and listening to the OldBird 21c microphone in the morning. In the afternoon I went to my son’s basketball game at the school just down the road and there was a Brown-headed Cowbird in a flock of House Sparrows. But no sign of cowbirds at my house so far this year. Ugh!
Here’s the eBird checklist from this morning.
