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 25 - Great-crested Flycatcher


I went to Harrier Meadow today to meet up with Mike and the bird banding he does. We observed a couple of new birds while walking to the nets. Yellow Warblers have come back to The Meadowlands. With the Yellows we had a quiet Prairie Warbler and a new Bergen County bird for me and Mike, Blue-winged Warbler. Great-crested Fly was a new bird as well and will be today's bird.
