Hello All... Saw either a Tree or Barn Swallow and a Kestrel for the first time in 2008 today. Also saw the bird I think is a Northern Harrier. All at my rural home. PLUS my neighbor (whose home is deep in an opening in woods) tells me so far this year they have seen: downy woodpecker white breasted nuthatch red bellied woodpecker red winged blackbird dark eyed junco northern cardinal bluejay pileated woodpecker canadian goose tufted titmouse american robin eastern bluebird black capped chickadee towhee red tailed hawk crow wren (voice) Sure hope 2008 is a great year for the BBS.
