The weekend brought in a decent number of new patch as well as year birds at MNC (Meadowside Nature Center - why I keep abbreviating as MNR I have no clue). Among them some rather tarty birds I should have seen by now - but there you go.
New additions to the patch list: Common Grackle (are you shitting me?), Northern Mockingbird (yes, they are surprisingly uncommon), Purple Martin (well, if they had cleaned out the gourds once a year, I could have seen one a long time ago, but I guess that's too much to ask), Broad-winged hawk (nice), Ruddy Duck (why must I comment on every bird I don't know), Northern Parula .Total number of species: 79
Number of 2012 species: 66, new addition: all of the above (duh!) and Palm Warbler
