Yep, I have a few favorites from 09 and a few expectations for 10…as you mentioned the White-winged Crossbills were so beautiful against the snow last year (those that Marcy and I saw at the cemetery in Indiana) as well as just on leaves, etc. Of course the Bald Eagles and their new youngun’s at Crooked Creek, so that will be one of my expectations for 2010–a new nest (as you saw and heard the beginning of courtship yourself) with who knows — 2 or 3 for this year? I love watching and hearing the hawks, too, so nice to see Red-shoulders around here and Rough-leggeds (up around Yellow Creek and the Volant strips, etc.)
And I’ll be maintaining, recording/watching the bluebird boxes there, so that’s always enjoyable seeing and hearing the pretty bluebirds. Expect and hope to see some more “new” birds this year, too.
Hope you, your family, and all your readers (birders and non-birders alike) have a fantastic New Year–2010!!

They stole my heart! Also, the budgie needing his freedom was particularly moving for me. I have wondered if and when you stopped seeing him.

Your blog is a 2009 favorite for me.
