Welp, today I didn't continue the trend of the last two days of a Lifebird and two Yardbirds each day. Today I had NO Lifebirds and NO Yardbirds. However, I did hear the first Indigo Bunting and the first Eastern Phoebe of the year for me. I also got some fair pictures of Eastern Kingbirds that may be nesting in my side yard. I had one nest in my front yard last year. Daily totals are as follow: Black Vulture 2 Turkey Vulture 5 Killdeer 1 Mourning Dove 6 Common Nighthawk 1 Chimney Swift 15 Eastern Phoebe 1- Tulip Grove Rd, and Lebanon Rd. Eastern Kingbird 5 American Crow 1 Barn Swallow 10 Carolina Chickadee 1 Carolina Wren 1 American Robin 10 Northern Mockingbird 3 European Starling 30 Song Sparrow 1 Northern Cardinal 5 Indigo Bunting 1- Tulip Grove Rd. and Lebanon Rd. Common Grackle 40 House Finch 5 American Goldfinch 2 House Sparrow 20 Number of Species: 22 Let's see what unusual event occurs to me tomorrow. I am three weeks post-Gastric Bypass surgery and am steadily losing weight and gaining energy and vitality again. Maybe I'll go to Shutes Branch Recreation Area or Summit Hospital Pond. Good Birding!
