The Great Backyard Bird Count starts this Friday (2/13). For more information click here. Usual disclaimers (although I would accept payment from them if they had any money.)

my partner does the GBBC as well as the weekly bird count for Cornell.  I can now identify a few birds.  Best sightings in our yard have been a barn owl, a red shouldered hawk, a sharp-shinned (sp?) hawk, and a hooded oriole.  This week we had ~50 robins in the yard and in the past have had large numbers (50-100) of Cedar Waxwings.

Have you ever been to Godwit Days in Arcata? I went a couple of times. Bucket list for serious birders. (If it’s still happening.)

We have not, but I'm certainly not a serious birder...
