I've become a bit of a fan of Birdstack.com. The website allows me to record and share my bird lists. And it is also a great place to chat with other birders around the world.This past Tuesday, Birdstack put out a challenge called Birds of the Equinox. Birds of the Equinox is a project to document birdlife during the September 22 equinox. They asked members to go out, record and report back what birds we find on a bird walk within 12 hours of our local time of equinox. Kind of a cool, international project!
So I did it!
Here is what I found on a two-hour bird walk at Innsbrook. Glad I did it...got a new warbler species! I ended up with 32 species. Not bad for birding alone and for only two hours!
