Has anyone tried e-bird? I've heard about it, and today, since I saw the most species ever in my backyard (a great christmas present) I decided to go to www.ebird.com and report my observations. The bird of the day? A brown tree creeper. I couldn't believe that this tiny little bird was crawling up our bur oak tree, almost getting lost in the deep furrowed bark. Here is my list, courtesty of E-bird. Amazing what you can see just from the kitchen window.
