Greetings All:
I started biding my suburban Lubbock yard on 15 August 2004. It took me almost
eight years to get to 100 species
So far as I can tell I have added seventeen species to my yard list since I hit
the magic 100 with Summer Tanager on 23 April 2012. The remainder of 2012
kicked out Neotropic Cormorant, Western Tanager, Bewick's Wren, White-throated
Sparrow, Field Sparrow, Spotted Towhee, and Red Crossbill. Until today, 2013
had kicked out Snow Goose, Brown-headed Cowbird, White-fronted Ibis, and
Bullock's Oriole. Five minutes this morning added Northern Shoveler, Northern
Pintail, American Wigeon, Gadwall, Green-winged Teal, and Ruddy Duck and I find
myself at 117 species for a very suburban Lubbock yard.
Maybe, just maybe, I might make it to 120 by the time 15 August 2014 rolls
around - a nice round number for a ten year goal:)
