First bird of the year determines how the year will be.

My first bird was a varied thrush. They migrate through during spring and fall, and we have a flock year round now. They are very camafloged, somewhat skittish but seem adapatable to woodland dwelling.

1. well, it was Starling for me

but I ended the day with 45 species, including Fox Sparrow, Bald Eagle, Black-legged Kittiwake, and Barn Owl.

So what does that mean???

made up for the starling. Wow!

2. Nice way to start the year.

Mine was a goldfinch. Not bad in my opinion.
