Birdy 30 Winner: ‘Best Bird’ Award Is a Tie!

IMG_4360
The good news is that the "Best Bird" category ended in a tie.  

The bad news for everyone but Rick Weiman is both winning birds were seen by Rick, who did the Birdy 30 while he was visiting Nebraska.

He not only saw a Red-shafted Northern Flicker but also a Harris's Sparrow — a life bird for both Rick and me. The only difference is that this was the first time Rick had seen one, and the first time I had heard of one.

More about Harris' Sparrows here.

Rick also saw a Sandhill Crane. (Photo below, with Rick on the right.)

Congratulations to Rick. Very well done!
