I really love watching birds, but I'm not all that great at it--and I'm worse about keeping up with what I actually do see. I need to "practice" a good deal more. Going outside and watching and listening is something that is pretty relaxing also, so it wouldn't hurt to try to fit it in more regularly.
Anywho, I'm going to keep a list of the birds that I identify starting from today forward. (Yeah, I know that I've listed a few birds that I've seen in the past here on my blog, but I'm not going to count them.) Perhaps this will motivate me to keep on the lookout. I'm going to start it here, but the format may change as I talk it over with RA.
This morning I saw and heard a
1. Brown-headed Nuthatch Sitta pusilla USGS info in our backyard. It was hopping about noisily in one of the pine trees, but I didn't get a good look until it flew closer.
