On November 19th last year, i started using eBird to log my bird observation at the water feature at my workplace. Sometime this spring i even started counting the birds. I'm not trying to be particularly precise in my IDs: you'll see "gulls" and "ducks" listed. So, i may make some observations on Monday, but i thought i'd just go ahead and call it "half a year" and look at the data. I estimate the maximum number of checklists to be 26 weeks*3 days a week * 2 morning & evening = 156 checklists.  So, i make checklists better than 50% of the time, as there have been more weeks where i'm in the office less than three days than there have been weeks where i go in more than that.

I am all caught up with the data entry, whee!

Wow, you've been busy! I'm not a birder but I do enjoy seeing birds, whether it's a cardinal in my garden (lots of cardinals in Maryland; they were sort of rare in NY and NJ) or a large hawk flying over the Beltway (nothing like nature in the midst of human chaos!)
