Nice! My 1/2-acre of suburbia can't compete with that (118 is a nice YEAR
species total for my yard) but I did manage 72 species in Sept which at least
gets me close to your top 25. Still sitting at 172 total for the yardlist.
October started decently as well. There was a nice movement of Blue Jays along
the ridge which I picked through looking for and eventually finding 2 FOF
RED-HEADED WOODPECKERs... 1 adult and 1 juvenile. Also added a FOF Nashville
Warbler.

I am attaching a screenshot of the top yards in the U.S. for the month of
September according to ebird.
Surprisingly, Tennessee is one of very few states with 3 in the top 22
yards.
Here is also a complete list of the birds I had in my yard (which includes
White-oak Ridge Raptor Lookout) with some cumulative total numbers for the
