January 12, 2022 Twelve days into the New Year and the Big Yard has recorded 37 species of birds. Nothing unexpected—the usual winter sparrows and juncos mixing with the resident jays and woodpeckers—except for a male hepatic tanager, which this time of year eBird considers a “rarity.”
Enjoyed it -- full of thoughtful and though-provoking prose. BTW, I am only at 36 species for the month and missing some regulars that I usually have every winter.

Lovely writing and photos.
Thanks Arlene! Interesting that you're having missing regulars too...I'm going to touch on this again in my next post with a little different take...
