A combination of cold weather, brrrr, and a busy work week has conspired to limit new birds to zero. I did walk home through Patterson Park yesterday and saw a long list of birds, but none new: starling, american crow, house sparrow, junco, song sparrow, house finch, ring-billed gull, mallard, sapsucker, red-tailed hawk, merlin, mockingbird. The only possible new bird was a large sharp-shinned/ small Cooper's Hawk, that is uncountable. Unfortunately it moved on before I remembered to look at the tail to tell which it was.
