"Big Day"

While I haven't participated in this before, the "Global Big Day" is another bird count event.  So today I submitted 5 checklists covering a little less than four hours with a total of 16 species. As I informed eBird, it was a hot and windy day that went from sunny to hazy to overcast, and finally to evening rain.  I also saw some skinks, cabbage whites, and wasps.  

There were bluebirds and blue jays at the dish feeders.  The mockingbird was everywhere but I never saw more than one at a time. Three kinds of woodpecker showed up. 

I was delighted to see both brown headed and white breasted nuthatches on the same day.  The best visitor of the day was a chipping sparrow, but another bird was rude and it flew off.
