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.

January 16 - White-crowned Sparrow


Another Baseball Card show will limit my birding today. After leaving Garfield today, I made a stop at Garret Mountain Reservation looking for Ring-necked Ducks. Most of the open water was gone as well as the ducks. I drove Disposal Rd. on my way home and saw some birders watching the Harriers and other hawks on the Kingsland Landfill. I spotted a White-crowned Sparrow alongside the road. My bird today!
