I've lost count, but I don't mind:) It's a community of learning and that's what I love about it. I've become a nerd so it's fun to see what everyone is seeing out in the great wild. You have excellent shots up close of the birds. Not easy to capture. I want to get outside really really bad but I have been trapped under mountains of paperwork! But I might get to play this weekend in search of the rare Rufous Back Robin.

I am doomed:) It's all I have on my mind somedays:) <br /><br />The CBC has had some great reveals as have the native plants/bird connection to the garden. I'm linking all of them together here at El Presidio where we will begin our count. I have A LOT of bird feeders around the property and we now attract quite the selection of birds. I'm given money every month to purchase bird seed/plants for the improvement of the property. We're starting at El Presidio and then??? We are waiting for the assignment but we will be hiking in that journey. We did our training this past Saturday and I was incredibly amazed at what the leader pulled out of the bushes. I had NO idea! We are specifically looking for several birds on the counts as well during our trek....one including the Gray black throated Warbler and Hutton's Vireo. So I've been studying their calls and pishing effects to get them out of hiding. <br /><br />We will be having a Christmas Bird Count party on the 16th in the evening to tally up our finds as a group. It's going to be epic. We've worked extremely hard these past months locating birds and I wish I was more focused earlier on this past year. I would just count birds I could get great photos of instead of counting all my observations. Those count as well but thanks to a little guidance from Kathie I now have a stronger sense of what I'm doing when I'm alone in the field. And when we're working together, it's power birding:) Are you participating up in Maricopa? I haven't been able to really bird with the holidays, work and everything else so I look forward to the little time I get:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-64596203266798287812012-12-04T09:47:57.496-07:002012-12-04T09:47:57.496-07:00How lucky you are to have founds a wonderful birdi...How lucky you are to have founds a wonderful birding buddy in Kathie. Sharing with someone really enhances the experience. Oh how I would love to see a Vermilian Flycatcher, Western Bluebird and Western Grebe (surprisingly, there was one spotted in the Chicago area a few weeks ago, but I was not able to locate it).

You are doomed.<br /><br />The CBC should be a lot of fun. I always liked the idea of staying put and just birding one small area to full capacity throughout the day. I can never restrain myself during a normal birding outing to stay put for that long, but the particular objectives of a CBC would help.<br />Where are you all going to set up camp?
