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.

May 2 - Chestnut-sided Warbler


Today I spent the morning getting familiar with some of the territory we need to cover in the morning on our World Series of Birding day. I went to Halifax Rd. in Mahwah and 2 other Mahwah locations. At Halifax rd. I saw at least 10 species of Warbler including my first Chestnut-sided of the year. Another location produced my first Worm-eating Warbler. Overall at least 15 species of Warbler were found today. Chestnut-sided Warbler is going to be my bird-a-day.
