I’ve been keeping a weekly bird list for the Wisconsin Checklist Project, so I thought I would add those lists to the blog. They are lists of all the kinds of birds I’ve seen at the farm during that week. I’ll go back in time and do the old lists too – I’ve been keeping them for about a year. I’m only including the farm birds on these lists – for the Wisconsin Checklist Project I also list birds I’ve seen in other parts of Buffalo County.
These lists are all from observations made while doing other projects, or from birds seen at our feeders. I almost never take a walk just to look for birds – there are too many other things to do. Sometimes I do play a tape to try to call in owls.
This week’s list is:
