Rules of the Bird-a-day Challenge

Rules are simple:
Every day you add a new bird that you see or hear (not on the television, in a book or on the internet) to your list of birds for that date. You may not repeat the same bird or skip a day. Any non-caged, non-captive, free flying bird is allowed; that is except for a chicken. We're not sure why chickens aren't allowed, but we accept the rule and live by it!
The Prize:
At some point during the year "you will be unable to see or hear a new bird" to add to your list. When this happens you have completed the race and have established for yourself a mark to try and better next year. During your attempt to go deep into the year you will undoubtedly see many more birds than you would have if you hadn’t attempted the challenge. Pat yourself on the back and know you did your best.

February 6 - American Black Duck

Thanks for ducks!! Another Baseball Card show meant I needed to search for something other than the Ring-billed Gulls hanging around the parking lot. I made a stop on the way home to look for Ring-necked Ducks on the Passaic River and new St. Reservoir. I struck out. Settled for American Black Duck on the river for my bird today.
