The first vertebrate I saw in 2012 was… me. I form part of a self-sustaining population (I’ve lost count of my nieces and nephews) and I am wild, at times. So, according to The Rules (posted yesterday), I count.
Shortly thereafter I looked out of the window and, through the heaviness of a winter dawn, I saw mallards.
Species added to the Big Vertebrate Yearlist so far today:
| | Mammals | |
| 1 | human | Homo sapiens |
| | Birds | |
| 1 | mallard | Anas platyrhynchos |
2012 Totals
Mammals: 1
Birds: 1
Reptiles: 0
Amphibians: 0
Fish: 0
Stick with it; things will get much better. I’m off to look for birds.
