Good news and bad news

Good news first. Migration is heating up, which means lots of birds around! I'm sitting at 189 Ohio birds for the year and more are showing up every day.

Florida double-twitch

As teased in previous posts, here's the trip report from my Florida excursion! I call it a "twitch" in the title, which is birding lingo for chasing after a rarity. This particular excursion was organized by Jeremy, who has his own blog here. The plan was easy enough in theory

January 100

As promised, another post for January. I mentioned in my last post the goal of recording 100 Ohio birds in January. The fabled January 100 was looking fairly easy early on, but late into the month I learned that I wouldn’t have the final weekend to wrap up! More on that in another post; here’s how January went...

Two new shorebirds at Wilderness Road!

I've been falling behind on my blogging, so this will be the first of two pending posts. This is to give an update of Sunday August 30th, and two life birds for me! I have to start this post with August 29th, when went up to visit my family who had a birthday celebration for me.
