Yard List

My thought on having a yard list posted on my Blog is quite simple. Everyone should keep one. Especially if you have a yard. And since I’ve had a yard for sometime, I want to share the different types of birds that can appear right in your own yard. There is one rule to this. And that is, if I can see it from my yard it counts. Even if it’s flying overhead. Having different lists makes this hobby fun.
