When we moved to our new home I decided it was time to start a yard list, something I hadn't done before. My yard list consists of birds that I've seen or heard from my yard, not necessarily birds physically on our property. As of yesterday I had recorded 69 species from our home in Robson. Today brought me a suprise while I was having my coffee, watching our feeders and scanning the fruit trees.
The usual suspects were there: Black-capped Chickadee, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Song Sparrow and then.......a Northern Shrike(#70) showed up! He just posed there while I enjoyed the view, clearly forgetting I have a new lense I could take such a shot with, sigh. Here's a list of the birds seen from my yard:
