Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis) Lake June-in-Winter S Pk
Happy New Year!
What was the first bird you saw in 2014? I am taking a survey and will publish the results in a few days.
My last birds seen in 2013 were 10 Sandhill Cranes and then just before dark I saw a Downy Woodpecker. It is still 2013 as this is being posted. I will add my first bird in the morning.

ON THE first day of the seventh month [on New Year’s Day of the civil year], you shall have a holy [summoned] assembly; you shall do no servile work. It is a day of blowing of trumpets for you [everyone blowing who wishes, proclaiming that the glad New Year has come and that the great Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles are now approaching]. (Numbers 29:1 AMP)

You might want to leave a comment just in case the survey doesn’t work. It’s a new attempt on my part. Leave bird and country.

Happy New Year!

Atonement and Tabernacles Numbers 29: 1…..Maybe we should look at these
appointments this year. Bit too cold to live in a booth but maybe not as expensive
as our Christmas……Serious Peter ? Sure am !

Thanks for your comments and the New Year’s wish. I finally saw my first birds. A flock of 22 White Ibises landed in our front yard. Actually got a photo of them that I will post later.

I think that a Great Blue Heron was the first bird that I saw at my local marsh in Northern Virigina.
