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 17 - Yellow-rumped Warbler

Today I spent the morning around Garret Mountain. It seemed like more birds have left with little if anything moving back in. I had no luck finding Black and White Warbler and only saw the usual 3 Warblers. A brief stop to walk the trail behind Cedar Grove Reservoir produced the same 3 Warblers. There have been many bright and crisp Yellow-rumped Warblers around though. This is my bird today.
