Here is what I've seen through the last 30 years in my yard. Began keeping list at this 0.77-acre lot in downtown Pueblo across the street from Mineral Palace Park in 1994. Been Feeding birds, providing dripper bird bath, planting numerous wildlife friendly trees/shrubs.
177 species as of today. Highlights: Five species of geese (flyovers), found nesting Mallard in front parking, lowland Band-tailed Pigeon, a Lesser Nighthawk rootsed on top of green ash, flushed Poor-will migrants twice, shorebird flyovers (Killdeer, Long-billed Curlew, Wilson's Snipe, Spotted Sandpiper, and Solitary Sandpiper), Green Heron, Great Egret and Great Blue Heron flyovers, 14 species of soaring raptors and 5 species of owl (including Eastern Screech and No. Pygmy), 14 Flycatcher species (including Eastern Wood Pewee), White-eyed Vireo twice, Rock, Marsh, and Carolina Wrens, Gray-cheek Thrush, unexpected city Lark Bunting flyover, 19 species of Warbler (including; Golden-winged, Blue-winged, Morning, Kentucky, Chestnut-sided, Black-throated Blue, and Yellow-throated). Took up Mothing in 2011 and now at 920 species of moths and butterflies photographed in the yard.
