Went out to participate in the great backyard bird count with Jamie this afternoon. We checked out a square, Prest Rd to Gibson Rd, Prairie Central to McGuire. Then we went to Sardis Pond and finished the day at home.
Nice thing about inputting this data to the GBBC is that I can cut and paste my results instead of typing them out! ;D
