When I look at the Birdseye app on my phone to see what has been seen in the last week within a 25 mile radius, I find 177 species sighted.
The “needs” tab says we haven’t yet recorded 3 of those birds this year though.
It’s hard to get every single one. Actually, we’ve got the domestic Muscovy, but a glitch in the program makes it look like we haven’t seen it yet. No matter, it’s still a really cool app. We’ll get the white-fronted goose; we’re on the lookout for that. The rufous hummingbird might be a little harder, but if one gets regular at a feeder we’ll go stake it out. We can look at other places too and get more chances. If we were in Port Aransas right now, we’d have a shot at 9 year-birds.
Or Houston; 16 birds.
Denver has 29 year-birds for us.
Seattle, 45.
Miami, 29.
Maybe we need to get out more. J
