the view from Long Pond to my house, the second white blob from the leftBased on my conversations with Laura and Susan, I've updated my yard list: 66 species! (fireworks sounds)
Before, my list had 35 species: 35 different kinds of birds that had actually landed in my yard. But when I count the marsh and Neighbor Ed's yard (both places I can see from my yard) and the air above my yard and the marsh, then I get 66. 35 isn't bad, but 66 absolutely rocks.
What do you consider a "yard bird" when making out your list? Or do you even bother to keep count?

Too bad the ping pong ball didn't hatch and add to your list.
Congratulations to you and Kat! We are delighted for you and thank you for sharing.
Welcome, NCMtnwoman! And I'll thank you to never speak of the ping-pong egg again! ;)
Thank you so much for your kind words, and again--welcome to my bloggy.
66 birds ... smokers ... I don't think we even HAVE 66 kinds of birds around here! Good going!
I got a new memory stick today.
So, since you jinxed my camera, I can talk about ping pong balls all I want, right?
66 is muy impressive. And I do keep count....so I can brag.
It is a yard bird if I see it from or in my yard.:)
Rabbits' Guy: Well, that marsh just pulls in all kinds of birds!
Susan--I'm glad you got a new stick, but I'm STILL not sorry you lost that "SNIPE????" photo of me.
Rick--then 66 it is!
To me a yardbird is any bird I can see or hear from my property, including flyovers (that's how I got loons).
