I've spent at least some time covering the backyard (west Knox Co, TN) for the GBBC each day this weekend. Haven't turned in results yet and hoping to get a bit more in before dark tonight but so far I've got 33 species over the 4 days. That's a decent number for our yard in February with a few big misses still out there like Red-tailed Hawk and Killdeer. Nothing unusual so far though a Ruby-crowned Kinglet was a nice find for the yard this time of year.
