Hi all Exciting news! New yard bird #135.
The bad news was last year there was a fire on our 35 acres (burned about 10 or so acres). Source unknown but I have my suspicions :-) The good news is I predicted (last year) we'd see Long-billed Curlew or Mountain Plover as a yard bird. That prediction just came true for one species--my wife just called and photoed and videoed 3 Long-billed Curlew in our burn scar. Yay!
