The World Series of Birding is Fun!!!
2008 World Series of Birding.....My Backyard Big Sit
     This year, for the World Series of Birding, I was unable to join my usual team, the Century Run, because of health reasons so I thought I would do a Big Sit on our back deck. My team name was "The Villas Catbird Seat". Because of the location here in Villas, NJ, I have a much better shot at a good total if there is bird movement the night before as I am too far from the bay for seabirds and shorebirds. Well, there was NOT a flight the night before so I had a poor showing with a total of 38 species. I was trying for at least 50 and in fact, 6 days before, I was able to get 52 species on a practice run. Despite the low number, I had fun and was able to stay dry during the rain by coming inside and watching out the window!!! Next year I hope to return to my old team. Below you will find a few photos from the day.

 


This is my official sign for the event. Clever, huh?

The 'official' seat (until it rained!)

Part of the playing field....the backyard!

A male Yellow Warbler was a welcome participant.

He was later joined by this Northern Parula. Both these birds were enticed
by the mister over the pond.
