We have two additions to the DoWL from the last few days
Spruce Grouse=20
Northern Shrike
=20
=20
Considering our flying start to the WBL on day 1, our mild December and =
much tamer winter than last year as well as having CSI so well birded =
now I thought for sure we would best our last year=E2=80=99s winter =
total of 202. But birds don=E2=80=99t seem to like it when you make =
assumptions about them. We=E2=80=99ve been stuck at 195 for some time =
and the 202 is looking out of reach. It appears we=E2=80=99ll be lucky =
to achieve our average of 197.
=20
In comparison to last year=E2=80=99s cruel winter, we are down three =
duck species: Redhead, Canvasback and Blue-winged Teal. We picked up =
American Redstart but missed four other warbler species and three =
sparrow species.=20
=20
Unless one shows up soon, it will be the first winter in 20 or more =
years which we didn=E2=80=99t get an Eastern Meadowlark.
=20
However, I feel an epic spring is setting up rather nicely!
MIA Core Species
The following are the species we get every year (they are allowed 1 miss =
in the last 18 years) which we do not have on our WBL yet.
=20
Eastern Meadowlark
=20
Needed 9/10 out 10 Years Species
The following are the non-core species which have made the WBL 9 or 10 =
out of the last 10 winters which we do not have yet.
=20
Blue-winged Teal
Redhead
Gyrfalcon
House Wren
=20
=20
Needed 8 out 10 Years Species
The following are the species which have made the WBL 8 out of the last =
10 winters which we do not have yet.
=20
Carolina Wren
Black-and-white Warbler
Yellow-throated Warbler
=20
=20
Needed 7 out 10 Years Species=20
We=E2=80=99ve cleaned the slate on these ones.
=20
=20
=20
Winter Bird List (WBL) runs from Dec 1 =E2=80=93 to Feb 29
=20
Depth of Winter List (DoWL) is February only
