Today I went bird watching and added 9 birds to the count. I’m up to 10 so far! Here are the ones I photographed today:
#10 Canada goose
#9 Northern Cardinal
#8 Carolina wren
#7 Hooded Merganser
#6 Mallard
#5 Northern Pintail
#4 Ring-billed Gull
#3 Swamp Sparrow
#2 White Throated Sparrow
Each year I start a bird count. I have to photograph the birds for them to count on my list. The husband and I went out for a walk today and the only bird we found was this beautiful American Robin. He’s #1 for the year.
#1 American Robin
I am ending the year with a very low bird count number. One of the lowest in many years. With the pandemic and election, I just haven’t felt like going out bird watching. Maybe things will change in 2021.
#16 Belted Kingfisher
#15 Barn Swallow
#14 Brown-headed Cowbird
#13 House Sparrow
I went bird watching today to take my mind off all the states that are still counting votes. I didn’t see many birds but I did get one more to add to the list. The mourning dove.
Today I was out walking on the trail getting some exercise and looking for some birds when I saw this Gray Catbird sitting on a fallen tree branch. I wasn’t too far away from it and it wasn’t scare or flying away. I had my big camera with the telephoto lens and was able to snap this picture before he flew away.
