BGBY Quarterly Report

The first quarter of 2008 is officially over. I thought I report on the species on my list so far. I've purposely narrowed my BGBY to on foot, in and around my neighborhood. I've been intrigued by this project because it may be a way of apprising my neighbors of the diversity of birds within their own neighborhood and fostering a greater appreciation of the avifauna around us. I hope to be convincing to my neighbors in demonstrating that birding is something that can be done almost anywhere.
