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 6 - Bald Eagle

Today I spent the morning at Garret Mountain. Lots of birds again 50+ species. A 6-Warbler day was had with Northern Parula and Prairie Warbler being seen a bit early. 100+ combined Pines, Palms and Yellow-rumps around, but I've been thinking of using Bald Eagle the next time I see one. It had been almost a month since I saw one in The Meadowlands. A somewhat ragged adult Bald Eagle flew over Barbour's Pond in the morning and since nothing else real special was seen, I chose that as my bird-a-day.
