I try to find one day a month to spend birding locally and yesterday was it. I have just started to make an Oklahoma list to go with my vacation list. Most of the migrants will be arriving soon and this will give me a baseline to start from.
House (in a residental neighborhood of a large city) Carolinia Wren, Carolina Chickadee, Common and Great Tailed Grackles, Starlings, Brewer's blackbirds, cowbirds, Northern Mockingbird (has staked out my house and sings from the top of the roof every night and day), Mourning doves, Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, House Sparrows, Red tailed Hawk, and an American Kestrel (unusal sighting)
Barn (where I pasture my horses) Pidgeon (stray from the city not usually seen) Great Blue Heron, Juvinal Red Tail Hawk almost completely white underneath, Downy Woodpecker, Dark eyed Juncos, Red Winged Blackbirds, Common and Great Tailed Grackles, Satrlings, Brewer's blackbirds, cowbirds, Northern Mockingbirds, Eastern Bluebirds, Eastern Meadowlarks, House Sparrows, crows, Mallards. Adding a Wilson's Snipe.

Too far to identify-flycatcher, merganzer either common or red breasted and another 50 ducks? I need a scope!
