First Few Days

I made a slow start to the year with just 9 species in my yard on the first day - although this included a rare visitor, Lewis's Woodpecker. A trip across town on the 2nd failed to locate the Snow Goose or Eurasian Wigeon that I'd seen on December 31st. By Friday 6th I had seen 39 species, the best being the Anthem Rufous-backed Robin seen on a quick visit back from dropping my son at Skyharbor.
