Today I birded for a long time at my house(Pretty much all day) I ended up with 
a grand total of 39 species. I will only mention the interesting species. 
 During the  morning a Winter Wren flew from the feeder over my head. A little 
while later some Purple finches came to my feeders. Then, after I mowed, I went 
to the creek were I saw a Hermit Thrush. I got kinda hungry after birding for a 
few hours, so I went in and ate. After I ate, I went across the creek to our 
field were I saw Song Sparrows, Swamp Sparrows, Field Sparrows, and a few 
Savannah Sparrows. It soon got dark, so I started listening for owls. I walked 
on towards the road.(Our road is not very busy, maybe 3 cars a day) I heard a 
Barred Owl, so I started doing the Barred Owl call, then the Great-Horned, for 
I knew they lived in the field, and wouldn't you know, he answered! So I 
started doing the Barred, Great-Horned, and Eastern Screech Owl calls one after 
another, and  the Screech Owl answered too! I had  3 owls within a few minutes! 
I had a great time.
