Birdwatchers, How many new species have you seen this week?

Question

I started a birdlist 4 days ago. I did keep one until I was about 14 . It got lost since then. I believe I had around 200. In the last 4 days I've seen 23 different species. all from my front porch I should add I live in a wooded area so what Isee most are woodland species.

Answer 1

For the week probably close to about 175 species total..nothing new however....but remember my work IS looking at birds so I have a lot AND I also live in a forest so see lots of species in my yard as well. Have not seen anything new in quite a while...I usually have to leave the state to do that.

Answer 2

First of all i want to say that i think it is such a good idea that you birdwatch. I absolutely love all birds no questions asked. People who bird watch are very calm and kind hearted people. There are so many birds in the world and that is why i love them. Each one is different and unique in either looks and colors or/and personalities. I find birds so interesting and love watching their fight to survive life every single day. I dont see many new species because i dont have the luck of living in a wooded area where many birds are located but i have seen some blue jays and red tail hawks this week. I am very fond of the Pigeon and i always watch them around neighbors houses flying about. I once again want to thank you for birdwatching and getting into such a heartwarming hobby. If only more people could get involved, i think people need to learn to listen and love. Well once again thanks and very interesting question. Im going to star this question so more people can read about how many different species of birds there are! Thumbs up! ♥ Ryspigeons

Answer 3

NEW species, that I have not seen before? None. Species of birds see this week = about 30, more or less.

American Robin, Blue Jay, Baltimore Oriole, Downy Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Red-winged Blackbird, Common Grackle, American Crow, White Breasted Nuthatch, Brown Thrasher, American Goldfinch, House Finch, European Starling, English House Sparrow, Tree Swallow, Barn Swallow, Northern Cardinal, Canada Geese, Mallards, Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Eastern Bluebird, Grey Catbird, American Tree Sparrow, Brown-headed Cowbird, Red-tailed Hawk, Bald Eagle.

I had to really think about it. I no longer keep day lists, unless I am on a birding trip. At home, we have almost 20 species in our backyard, or in the pond behind our property, and many others fly over regularly.
