February 17, 2013 was Audubon's annual Great Backyard Bird Count. Since I don't have a backyard, I participated with a Backwater Bird Count. I decided I would count all the birds I could see in my purvue. You're supposed to watch and log for 15 minutes, so I watched from 4:35 to 4:50 p.m.
Here is my count:
-- 2 Canada geese
-- 1 wood duck
-- 6 mallards
-- 14 double-crested cormorants (3 on pilings; the others flying past)
-- 1 gull (couldn't identify species)
-- 4 redwing blackbirds (at feeder)
for a total of 28 birds of six species
Afterwards I went online to add my list to Audubon's count. I was noted as:
Checklist S13077786
