 Happy New Year! We had a wonderful walk this morning and got to see a lot of species. Why not challenge yourself to see more birds this year in the state, county, or your yard? It would be a fun challenge and it would get you outdoors. Good for your brain and your heart. I've seen 59 species so far this year. Good luck in the New Year and good birding!
