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.

April 13 - Winter Wren


In a brief trip to Garret Mountain Reservation after lunch today I saw no new birds for the year. More Yellow-rumped Warblers were seen than the previous days with more males in nice plumage. Chipping Sparrows were around as were Song, Fox and White-throated Sparrows. A Winter Wren was seen in Slippery Rock Brook and will be my bird today.
