Birding pages - Pendleton Yard Bird List 2009 (Auburn - A)

 

88 species seen in or from our property during 2009 as of 9/28/2009.
Note that some of the species recorded on only one date (First and Last dates are the same) were present on more than that one day, but were only recorded on one bird outing during that period.
Relatively few yard counts this year - None until April, then 2 each in April and May, 1 each in June, July and August, then 4 in the first half of September. First sightings of common species were recorded during the first half of January but not much after that. As a result the date and frequency information is not very accurate.
