Well, I’m still hanging in there. I’m not sure how many more weeks I’ll make it, but it's day 28 of the Bird-A-Day Challenge (and see my updated list below.) Thanks for the support, all you birders out there. I’m having a blast sharing the adventure with you and hearing about all the great birds that you’re seeing from day to day. Keep checking back and posting your birds here on as well as on .
Happy Birding!
