October Big Day – Saturday, October 14, 2023

I’m participating in October Big Day today, and my goal is to log 35 bird species. Please check back this afternoon and see how the day went!

You can participate in this event, too. Here is more information. Create an eBird account and download Merlin ID to help you identify the birds you count. Report those species on eBird to help scientists track the migratory patterns of birds as they journey south for the winter!

Here is my species list:

Update: I logged 38 species today - I have included my list above, with several appearances by my colony of warblers - including the rare Nashville Warbler! 

If you participated in October Big Day, I’d love to know what you saw or heard!

Northern Cardinal
One of the warblers – a Palm Warbler or Tennessee Warbler most likely
