It's hard to see every bird even just in the neighborhood

 

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
