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 3 - American Kestrel


Toady I made a quick trip to NJ Meadowlands, stopping in Harrier Meadow, and the local roads to DeKorte Park. More Red-winged Blackbirds are starting to come around. Still a lot of ducks around. Kestrel, Rough-legged Hawk, Northern Harriers and Red-tailed Hawks were seen through out the region. 20 Snow Buntings were seen along Valley Brook Ave. late in the day, as well as a roosting Long-earred Owl. Since most of the birds seen have been used already or I'm planning on saving, American Kestrel seen on a wire will be today's bird.
