Thanks, Sir William. I may try participating this year.

I did participate, though minimally, in the Great Backyard Bird Count. I wish one was held every month. It made me realize how rarely I spend 15 minutes solely on bird watching and I was fascinated by what appeared when I did. My total bird count was measly because I don't have feeders. Yet I was the only one in my town (as of today) that reported and I logged 2 of only 8 total reports in the entire county, which is awful considering that we have a state park here and a very large lake/reservoir/waterway that are going undocumented. You'd think the state park would assign an employee to participate. Next year I'd love to take those days off and plan to make viewings in a variety of places in the county.

Well last weeks fatalities were 3 mourning doves and a white wing dove. This make me think that
the red-tails are feeding some fledglings, though it seems awful early.
