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 30 - American Pipit


Another day limited by another Baseball Card show. I tried for the Pipit in the morning on the way to the show, but no luck on Disposal Rd. I spent a half hour with a group of birders on Valley Brook Ave. searching for Owls early in the morning. On my way home from the show in the late afternoon the Pipit was seen along Disposal Rd. almost in the same location as yesterday afternoon. Showed the bird to a few birders. It was a life bird for a few newer birders.
