Happy Halloween!

I finally got my house yesterday!  My first yard bird was officially a Western Scrub-Jay eating some berries, closely followed by a flock of Cackling Geese overhead.  Later on my friend and I were having a beer on my tiny deck and I heard a Killdeer calling.   Not bad. 

My birding adventures will probably slow down quite a bit as I try to move, paint, garden, rip up the ugliest wallpaper ever, etc.  Anyway, hope you have a great Halloween!  Check out my rad pumpkin carving skills I didn't even know I had...

  1. I'm so excited for you. Even if you don't get out birding as much (but I bet you do-Ralph and Jake will need their walks, right?), you can give us yard bird reports!

  2. That is a pretty sick owl-o-lantern.

    Props on the house. Make sure to think of a great name for your house when you make it into an eBird hotspot.

  3. Yeah what Steven said about the hotspot name.

    As far as first yard birds go, it seems like you could do a lot worse than Scrub Jay. I'm glad it wasn't anything cliche, like House Finch or House Sparrow, though House Wren would've been appropriate.

    Would Scrub Jays eat pumpkin seeds?

  8. I was wondering why Ms. Prolific Poster had been uncharacteristically quiet. A little thing like MOVING IN. =)

    FanTAStic pumpkin. Great! And congrats on your new home list o' birds. Looking forward to when you are back in post mode (but kinda want to see that awful wallpaper). =)
