[Bill Pulliam <bb551@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the heels of #149 and #150 yesterday, yard bird #151 showed up  
this morning (3/17/07) in the form of a much-overdue first American  
Coot on our 1 acre pond.  Finding three new yard tickies in three  
consecutive days has been quite unexpected, considering I have been  
here for over four years.

In other local notes -- first Chipping Sparrows of the spring today  
also (they don't generally winter down here in the hollow).  The only  
long-distance migrant that I have seen here this spring so far was a  
Northern Rough-winged Swallow back on March 11.
