Starting today and through the 19th lots of bird lovers, birdwatchers and birders will be identifying and counting birds in their backyards.  I will be out there with coffee in one hand and a pair of binoculars in the other.  There are other bird counts that take place throughout the year but what could be easier than having your morning coffee outside and seeing what Mother Nature sends your way.  Check the website to see what others have seen in your area and other neighborhoods.
