I completed the Seward BBS on 8 Jun 2025 (27th year, missed 2 years one due to weather/roads and one due to Covid.) The weather was unusually cool for this date and noticed there were no trains seen/heard during the route (seems this is due to doing the route on Sunday instead of the usual Saturday.) Saw many of the usual species. Missed Upland Sandpiper and Turkey Vulture for the first time in several years (maybe too cool?) and only had Western Meadowlarks at one stop (which was very unusual.) Had Field Sparrows for the first time in a long time. Had Accipiter for first time ever. It was harrasing or being harrased by Grackles all flapping around in a bush before it took off away from me. Seemed like it was a Sharp-shinned by size but couldn't tell from the short time observed. \| \| \| \| \| 10 Stop Totals \| \| \| \| Species \| 1-10 \| 11-20 \| 21-30 \| 31-40 \| 41-50 \| Total ind. \| Total Stops \| \| Wood Duck \| 0 \| 2 \| 0 \| 0 \| 0 \| 2 \| 1 \| \| Northern Bobwhite \| 2 \| 4 \| 2 \| 4 \| 2 \| 14 \| 14 \| \| Ring-necked Pheasant \| 7 \| 4 \| 3 \| 3 \| 0 \| 17 \| 16 \| \| Rock Pigeon \| 0 \| 2 \| 2 \| 0 \| 0 \| 4 \| 2 \| \| Eurasian Collared-Dove \| 0 \| 4 \| 2 \| 0 \| 2 \| 8 \| 6 \| \| Mourning Dove \| 8 \| 19 \| 15 \| 15 \| 2 \| 59 \| 26 \| \| Chimney Swift \| 0 \| 2 \| 0 \| 0 \| 0 \| 2 \| 1 \| \| Killdeer \| 3 \| 3 \| 2 \| 1 \| 0 \| 9 \| 7 \| \| Red-tailed Hawk \| 1 \| 0 \| 0 \| 1 \| 0 \| 2 \| 2 \| \| Red-headed Woodpecker \| 0 \| 0 \| 1 \| 0 \| 0 \| 1 \| 1 \| \| Red-bellied Woodpecker \| 1 \| 0 \| 2 \| 0 \| 0 \| 3 \| 3 \| \| (Yellow-shafted Flicker) Northern Flicker \| 0 \| 0 \| 1 \| 0 \| 0 \| 1 \| 1 \| \| Western Kingbird \| 2 \| 0 \| 0 \| 0 \| 0 \| 2 \| 1 \| \| Eastern Kingbird \| 1 \| 0 \| 0 \| 1 \| 0 \| 2 \| 2 \| \| Blue Jay \| 2 \| 0 \| 0 \| 1 \| 1 \| 4 \| 4 \| \| American Crow \| 1 \| 1 \| 1 \| 1 \| 9 \| 13 \| 6 \| \| Horned Lark \| 0 \| 0 \| 1 \| 0 \| 0 \| 1 \| 1 \| \| Barn Swallow \| 6 \| 2 \| 9 \| 0 \| 0 \| 17 \| 8 \| \| Cliff Swallow \| 0 \| 0 \| 14 \| 0 \| 0 \| 14 \| 3 \| \| White-breasted Nuthatch \| 0 \| 1 \| 0 \| 0 \| 0 \| 1 \| 1 \| \| Northern House Wren \| 1 \| 3 \| 1 \| 0 \| 1 \| 6 \| 6 \| \| Gray Catbird \| 0 \| 2 \| 0 \| 1 \| 0 \| 3 \| 3 \| \| Brown Thrasher \| 2 \| 2 \| 0 \| 0 \| 0 \| 4 \| 2 \| \| European Starling \| 1 \| 5 \| 0 \| 0 \| 0 \| 6 \| 2 \| \| American Robin \| 22 \| 17 \| 10 \| 7 \| 5 \| 61 \| 29 \| \| House Sparrow \| 0 \| 1 \| 3 \| 0 \| 0 \| 4 \| 3 \| \| House Finch \| 0 \| 1 \| 0 \| 0 \| 0 \| 1 \| 1 \| \| American Goldfinch \| 0 \| 0 \| 0 \| 1 \| 0 \| 1 \| 1 \| \| Chipping Sparrow \| 2 \| 0 \| 3 \| 0 \| 0 \| 5 \| 4 \| \| Field Sparrow \| 0 \| 0 \| 0 \| 0 \| 2 \| 2 \| 2 \| \| Western Meadowlark \| 2 \| 0 \| 0 \| 0 \| 0 \| 2 \| 1 \| \| Baltimore Oriole \| 1 \| 1 \| 0 \| 0 \| 0 \| 2 \| 2 \| \| Red-winged Blackbird \| 11 \| 8 \| 8 \| 7 \| 11 \| 45 \| 17 \| \| Brown-headed Cowbird \| 1 \| 0 \| 5 \| 2 \| 5 \| 13 \| 7 \| \| Common Grackle \| 8 \| 20 \| 3 \| 6 \| 11 \| 48 \| 18 \| \| Northern Cardinal \| 5 \| 2 \| 2 \| 3 \| 0 \| 12 \| 10 \| \| Indigo Bunting \| 0 \| 1 \| 0 \| 1 \| 0 \| 2 \| 2 \| \| Dickcissel \| 10 \| 5 \| 9 \| 8 \| 5 \| 37 \| 27 \| \| unid.
