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 4 - Brant


Today I made a trip to Garret Mountain Reservation, nothing exciting happening in the way of new birds to use today. The highlight was a group of 21 Common Redpolls feeding in the birches near the basketball courts at Garret. too bad I've already used Redpoll. My next stop was Asbury Park as I made a trip to the Stone Pony to pick up some tickets for an upcoming show. I spent 1/2 hour scanning the ocean and jettys for some Jersey Shore bird. I had to settle for Brant.
