Birdbath big year: start....

So I have had these big year people they have all been to Nome.

so I am doing a big birdbath year,  starting July 6, I anticipate very little traveling.
I sit on the back porch and wait......

I spoke to a woman from Austin on the subject: she reported screech owls at her Birdbath, so I think my only chance at setting the record is if I am the first one... anyway this Robin was a bath hog nearly drained the tank.   My aim is to document as many species in my bird bath as is humanely possible.
