Week 1 (January 1st - January 4th)
The first week was a very typical 1st week of the year, fast accumulation of bird species, the typical Mourning Dove, Blue Jay, and Dark-eyed Junco were among the first on the year list for me this year.
Week's end totals:
Species: 41
Individuals: 490
Week 2 (January 5th - January 11th)
The second week of January seen very little growth in totals for the year species-wise. Gaining just a singular species (White-crowned Sparrow), but still a wonderful species to see!
Week's end totals:
Species: 14
Individuals: 654
Week 3 (January 12th - January 18th)
Week 3 was a little better after a little visit to Windermere Basin in Hamilton I knocked off a bunch of duck species in huge numbers! The highlights included a Ruddy Duck and thousands of Long-tailed Ducks.
Week's end totals:
Species: 37
Individuals: 3,184
Week 4 (January 19th - January 25th)
Slow week filled with travelling and bad weather. Had to take a little last minute trip to Ohio to visit a customer on Wednesday but did not get much time to bird except the car ride (11 hours total) filled with American Crow, Canada Geese, and Red-tailed Hawk. Followed by a rainy/snowy weekend, I did get out to Port Maitland to see some ducks but nothing for songbirds. But on the bright side the 19th pinned a new bird for the year, and a beautiful one too, Short-eared Owl!
Week's end totals:
Species: 12
Individuals: 575
