BIGBY Update

I’ve been keeping my BIGBY list separate from my regular list this year, to make sure I abide by the walking/biking-only rules I agreed to. My list, however, is not very spectacular, as the weather’s been so rotten all year that it’s been hard to walk anyplace. Most of these are just from the backyard and the marsh. There are a few from the woodlot behind my work, where I go walking sometimes.

Dark-eyed Junco
Chipping Sparrow
American Goldfinch
Red-winged Blackbird
Rusty Blackbird - LIFER
Song Sparrow
House Finch
Mourning Dove
Tufted Titmouse
Downy Woodpecker
Common Grackle
Black-capped Chickadee
American Tree Sparrow
Chipping Sparrow
House Sparrow
Song Sparrow
White-throated Sparrow
White-crowned Sparrow
White-breasted Nuthatch
Canada Goose
Mallard
European Starling
Red-tailed Hawk
American Crow
Northern Cardinal

So far, only one BIGBY lifer: I just saw the rusty blackbird yesterday, while scoping out the marsh for wood ducks. I know we get them back there, so I’m hoping to see some soon, as well as the teals and other ducks and herons.

Has anyone recorded findings on the BIGBY site itself? I still haven’t done it (I haven’t even logged all my Project FeederWatch dates either!). I just don’t get much time to do that stuff, what with working and blogging and other computer things.
