2010 YARDLIST CHALLENGE

 

Compiled by Lisa Hardy

 

 

 

Here are the results of the 2010 Yardlist Challenge. Nine yards reported 2010 lists, for a total of 112 species. Highlights include Sandhill Crane (Hanson), Northern Saw-whet Owl (Sturts,Buchler), Western Bluebird (Moen), Common Nighthawk (Sheridan, Ward), Vaux’s Swift (Ward), Bohemian Waxwing (Zagar, Ward), and Wilson’s Warbler (Callen, Ward).  While four yards reported Steller's Jay (Hanson, Moen, Ward, Waring), Ward was the only one to spot a Blue Jay, Prairie Falcon (Buchler), Red-naped Sapsucker (Buchler) 

 

A few more statistics: 26 species were reported from only a single yard, and only 2 species (Red-breasted Nuthatch and Dark-eyed Junco) were reported from all nine  yards. 

 

A big thank-you to all reporters. Remember that the "challenge" is a personal one - to jot down a few notes from time-to-time on the world going on outside your door.
