first of the Year




The South Dakota birding community does a fun tally on our Yahoo! listserv. People post their FOY (first bird for the year), the first bird seen in the New Year to begin this year's list. All of us hope it is something cool, not a pigeon or a starling. My first visitors were a band of 6 chickadees after sunflower seeds the morning after the blizzard and 2010 ended. They are always most welcome.

That's a good idea: Mine was a wood stork.
