Number Forty-three

We've lived in this house twenty-two years and have been watching the bird life outside our kitchen door that whole time. But we never bothered to keep a list, I mean a List, until a few months ago when we calculated that what visited us that day was Number Forty-two.

It took three months to see Number Forty-three: a Brown Creeper yesterday afternoon.

I saw enough to identify it, but not to get an especially good picture. Pleased just the same.
