2015 – 28 March. 2013 – 24 March. 2012 – 15 March. Regardless, I was happy to see the tail-wagging harbinger of spring migration and I can’t wait for everything else to get back too!

I started keeping year lists – not just blogging about them but really keeping track of what I see each year – as late as 2012, roughly 30 years into my birding career. Therefore, the 2012 list itself was never the focus of my year listing, it was competition and blogging. This was fun. And a lot of work.
