Thomas, thanks for the fun questions re: yard lists. How long? 16 yearsStyle? ModerateHow many species? 96 (but we are undoubtedly missing several we just forgot to write down)Location/habitat: suburban yard in Fruita, CO, but within 200 yds of a desert wash and ag fields and less than a mile from the Colorado River.Rarest species? Rose-breasted Grosbeak (two different individual second-year males in back to back springs!)Favorite species? Blue Grosbeaks, Lazuli Buntings, and Pinyon JaysFavorite moment? I identified a flock of Snow Geese by sound calling overhead on a foggy fall night (they are uncommon in the Grand Valley), then they appeared out of the mist flying just low enough over the house to see them illuminated from below in the city lights!We've seen a bunch more species in the wash nearby, but not from the yard yet (White-throated Sparrow, Wood Duck, White-winged Dove, Ash-throated Flycatcher, Loggerhead Shrike, Juniper Titmouse, House Wren, Song Sparrow, Yellow-breasted Chat)Brett WalkerFruita, CO
