  1. I've been doing the Great Backyard Bird Count over the weekend. As in past GBBCs, my goal is to end up in the top ten for species counted in my county, Snohomish Co. So far, so good, I'm there. I'm not a serious birder by any means. But it's fun to see how I stack up with the serious local birders. I'm becoming a better birder, seeing more, learning more. But I'll never become an obsessive list keeper. #GBBC #birding #birds #birdsofmastodon #nature #photography

  2. The Great Backyard Bird Count is in full swing this weekend! It has been a great weekend of birding so far, and among the stars is this eastern towhee yesterday at Cranberry Marsh in #Ontario #Canada 🍁 Good luck today, and hopefully you all get a lifer. #GBBC #birds #birding #nature #birdphotography

  3. Spent some time this cold grey morning outside for the Great Backyard Bird Count. I saw only the usual flocks of house sparrows and starlings that live near the parking lot garden.
    According to Merlin’s listening feature, I heard the neighbor blue jay (yep) and a cardinal (also a neighbor) and a house finch. Never seen a house finch!

  9. This killdeer showed a real lack of situational awareness: came prancing up to me as if the chain link fence between us made me invisible! Maybe e was just very eager to be counted in the #GreatBackyardBirdCount!

  10. #GreatBackyardBirdCount special visitors today included a Cooper’s Hawk (being seen off by our Crow Neighborhood Watch) and a pair of chestnut-backed chickadees, possibly the first time I’ve seen them in my yard!

    Doesn’t this one look as if it has pollen on its wee fiz?

  12. Pretty quiet at the feeders for the #GreatBackyardBirdCount this morning, but a Northern Flicker stopped by to nosh on some Virginia Creeper berries. Jim DeWitt photo. #birds #birding #GBBC

  13. Pulled off one more #GreatBackyardBirdCount over at my sister's house today. Not too many birds there, thanks to a Cooper's Hawk stopping by to look for a meal. A Bald Eagle was kind enough to fly past waaay up high. #birds #birding #GBBC

  14. The annual #GreatBackyardBirdCount is underway. I just finished a long walk around our neighborhood where the most common species I saw was the beautiful Cedar Waxwing. I love their little bandito masks. #birds #birding #GBBC

  17. Another lovely time with the birds in the backyard. This time my Merlin recording missed two: the Anna's hummingbird that decided to say hi face-to-face, and our hill's resident red-shouldered hawk.

  20. Probably my last birding of this year's #GreatBackyardBirdCount, a quick wetlands walk that produced four new species for the year for me. The highlight was a pair of Canvasbacks, which I generally only see a few times a year at most. And finally some butterbutts. Where have you been hiding?

    42) Northern Shoveler
    43) Canvasback
    44) House Finch
    45) Yellow-rumped Warbler
