The challenge: Spend 15-20 minutes outdoors this week looking for local birds. Choose one of the birds to learn more about and to record in your nature journal. If you are participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count, plan on spending your outdoor time to tally birds you see in your yard. If the weather is too cold, you can always sit at a window where you can see your birdfeeder and take a tally from there.

There was some sort of blip when I tried to post a comment so disregard this comment if the other one went through. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought I had never seen a brown creeper before so I had to look it up. Then I remembered that I had seen one at Yosemite a few years ago.
Great job counting on all four days of the bird count! Excellent job. Thank you for sharing your bird list.
