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.

March 27 - Fish Crow

With little time today other than the morning to bird I tried a couple of places on my way to White Plains, NY. Overpeck Park I saw 2 Pied-bill Grebes, but they were already used. Very little to be seen other than 2 Titmouse seen at State-line Lookout on the Palisades. While loading the vans a big number of crows came to roost in the area. Among the American Crows were a few Fish Crows. After leaving White Plains I made a sundown stop at Piermont Pier to search for any odd gulls. Almost all gulls seen were Ring-billed Gulls. Fish Crow would be my bird today
