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 2 - Brown-headed Cowbird

After much searching for a migrant at Garret Mt. today I had to settle for the dreaded Brown-headed Cowbird which I saw at Garret and in my yard. We had nice looks at a Bluebird pair on Garret, 8 Great Blue Herons, 6 together flying over Garret Mt. Reservation and numerous Fox Sparrows, some singing.
