January 1, 2013 was awesome. I added a bird to my Birding Life List. While sitting in my backyard, trying out my new camera, I spotted a Red-breasted Nuthatch. Who knows how long it’s been visiting my back backyard each winter since I moved here 3 1/2 years ago, but I finally spotted him.

My new camera is a Nikon Coolpix L810 with 26x zoom.  It’s my birding buddy.

What a great new year!
