My January BiGBY List
This expands on an earlier preliminary list of birds recorded on a Walking BiGBY (Big Green Bird Year) count that I am conducting in Buchanan Township, Berrien County, Michigan. The following list represents the results of 11 days of incidental birding (January 4-7 and 25-31), with all species except Mallard being recorded in my backyard:27 26 25 species.
January Backyard list:26 25 24 species.
The map associated with the BiGBY Website shows a total of eight BiGBY’s being conducted in the State of Michigan as of the end of January, including one other in Berrien County. It would be interesting to know what species are being seen on the other counts.
