New High January Bird Count Beats December's Best

Wow! What else can I say. Maybe it was due to the odd work schedule but today I logged 29 bird species. (see list below). Missed getting photos of both owls today. One because I didn't have my camera, the other because when I did have the camera, the owl flew before I could snap the shot. Oh well. It was a day that started out slow and I didn't think that I would even get 20 species, but God allowed me to have a grand day. And He always seems to surprise me with something special. Today I had a "first" for my birding experiences. I actually saw 3 Brown Creepers on the same tree at the same time. And they were serenading me. That was special and it made me feel warm inside, even though it was freezing cold today.  It's good to be home. Thank you Lord for taking care of me today.  God Bless
