Here is what I've seen through the last 30 years in my yard.

Began keeping list at this 0.77-acre lot in downtown Pueblo across the street 
from Mineral Palace Park in 1994.  Been Feeding birds, providing dripper bird 
bath, planting numerous wildlife friendly trees/shrubs.

177 species as of today.

Highlights:

Five species of geese (flyovers), found nesting Mallard in front parking, 
lowland Band-tailed Pigeon, a Lesser Nighthawk rootsed on top of green ash, 
flushed Poor-will migrants twice, shorebird flyovers (Killdeer, Long-billed 
Curlew, Wilson's Snipe, Spotted Sandpiper, and Solitary Sandpiper), Green 
Heron, Great Egret and Great Blue Heron flyovers, 14 species of soaring raptors 
and 5 species of owl (including Eastern Screech and No. Pygmy), 14 Flycatcher 
species (including Eastern Wood Pewee), White-eyed Vireo twice, Rock, Marsh, 
and Carolina Wrens, Gray-cheek Thrush, unexpected city Lark Bunting flyover, 19 
species of Warbler (including; Golden-winged, Blue-winged, Morning, Kentucky, 
Chestnut-sided, Black-throated Blue, and Yellow-throated).

Took up Mothing in 2011 and now at 920 species of moths and butterflies 
photographed in the yard.

More to come,
