Thought I'd post about a new online tool for keeping track of the
birds you see in your yard.  With this tool you can easily calculate
your yard lists and compare your yard sightings with other people in
your home county or all of Ohio.  It looks like at least 18 people in
Ohio are already signed up.  I thought I'd spread the word now before
2011 hits so that you can start your 2011 yard year list on this site
if you want to.  It looks like this could be a lot of fun!
