JH, your owl shot is my dream! How did you spot him? I just love that it!
Pelle, don't know what the list is up to and I'm not counting it today! I just mark them in my book, one way for backyard and another for anywhere else. I counted the backyard birds because I was trying to save the trees in my neighborhood.
Great photos everyone. Love those crows! Can't wait for a painted bunting!

I had a Cooper's Hawk stop by this morning while I was working in the front yard. It was still a little too dark out, but I tried. This is the second time I've had a hawk pic with one of his talons in a fist. Why do they do that? He looks like he wants to punch me.
