2010 birds
grrlscientist | January 3, 2010On the first day of 2010, the first bird species I saw was a beautiful, very pale, Peregrine Falcon, Falco peregrinus, that was soaring past the window of my new home in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. My spouse's first bird of 2010 was a European (Common) Magpie, Pica pica. What was the first bird that you saw in the new year? Do you attach any significance or predictive value to the species that you see as your first bird of the year? If so, what is it?
