2016 – 18 March. 2015 – 28 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! Below are my first dates for the last ten years if you are really interested in such things…. 2017 – 12 March. 2014 – 29 March. 2013 – 24 March.

Thank all that is good and holy in the world that the abomination that was 2016 is finally in the books. Here’s hoping that 2017 is a much better year than 2016! All of 2016 only netted me one new species for Queens, a Greater White-fronted Goose. I failed to do so in 2016 and that really sucks. Will I achieve them?

The book focuses on two listing events: her 2012 Louisiana Big Year and her 2016 Louisiana 300 Year. Chapter One is all about Marybeth’s 2012 Big Year, an adventure she shares with Lynn, a fishing enthusiast who is probably the most supportive big year/300 year birding partner in the history of listing.

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.

There are always going to be species that will have to be left out of these guides, and though I may miss Allen’s Hummingbird (a bird that has only been definitely identified in the state three times but a lifer for me in 2012), the guide does a good job of covering the basic and interesting residents and migrants.

The year 2016 was not a particularly birdy year for me, mostly because I didn’t get to go on business trips to Indonesia or Kazakhstan, as was frequently the case during the last few years. I did not see any lifers whatsoever in 2016, making it my first lifer-free year since around 2010. 1, my best bird of the year… 10.
