Since I'm new to the list, I wanted to submit my birds for April (so far).
I'd seen Anthony's list in the latest newsletter. He'd mentioned Inca Doves
and possibly doing a count in the future, so I included them below. I
participated in Project Feeder Watch this year after a 10-year absence, and
we've had 1-3 Inca's during the colder months. We have one still hanging
around.
I retired this past August and joined eBird at the beginning of April for the
first time, plus iNaturalist a couple of weeks ago. I'm really enjoying
seeing all the birds and trying to figure out what they are. I'd still call
myself a beginning birder.
New ids for me this month were - Osprey, Black-necked Stilt, Hermit Thrush,
Spotted Sandpiper, and White-crowned Sparrow. I've added a photo and an
audio of the osprey, which actually helped me identify what it was. It was
always around dusk when we saw it on this same limb.
Looking forward to birding with some of you in the future when circumstances
allow!
Nancy
