Yard Birds

 


While IÕve been birding seriously since about 1990, IÕve only been making bird photos since June 2005. Since that time, weÕve lived in four homes: the first in Crawfordsville, Indiana, until we moved to Michigan in August of 2009; the second in the Hanspaulka neighborhood of Prague (I was on sabbatical at Charles University for the academic year 2007–2008); the third in a house on the shores of Lake Superior in Marquette, Michigan, from August 2009–June 2010; and the fourth (and hopefully final) in our home on twelve wooded acres on South McClellan Avenue in Marquette, Michigan.

We lived in Walnut Creek, California from August 1992—July 2001. From our arrival in California until November of 1996, we lived in a rental house on St. JohnÕs Court. In November of 1996, we bought a home on Montecito Crescent (just up the hill from St. JohnÕs Court); we lived there until we moved to Indiana in 2001. I wasnÕt making bird photos when we lived in California, but I did keep yard lists. Unfortunately, both lists are sloppily formatted, so I havenÕt posted them. I have, however, made a Combined Yard List. This list consists of the union of my yard lists from our homes in California, Indiana, and Michigan. (I note that my St. JohnÕs Court yard list is a proper subset of my Montecito Crescent yard list, not surprisingly, since the homes are less than half a mile apart).
