The yard list creeps up slowly. Last evening I went out, hoping to add some migrating Common Nighthawks. No luck with them, but I did spot two juvenile Scarlet Tanagers (more olive-yellow) foraging in company with Cedar Waxwings among the white berries of a Grey Dogwood bush. Later a raptor wheeled overhead whistling — a Broad-winged Hawk.
So, two new birds for my yard list, bringing it up to 97.


Love this Naomi. Shades of Brant Lake
On a very small scale!
Nice additions. I’m up to 61 with that Barred Owl, but my current yard list is only a few months old.
That’s amazing!
Mine started in ’92, but there was about a 15 year hiatus in the middle. I’m sure there’s still a lot I haven’t observed.
