10,000 Birds
DECEMBER 27, 2013
As 2013 draws to a close we here at 10,000 Birds thought that it would be a great idea if we, like we did in 2010 , 2011 , and 2012 , shared our Best Birds of the Year. My best bird of the year is based on the sighting rather than the species. Montana’s Baikal Teal by suneko. Rock Warbler by Clare Morton.
