10,000 Birds

I certainly can’t wait for 21 January 2015! Who knows what great birds 2015 will bring? Oh, and I’ll make sure to harass Jeff Gordon about why Green Heron wasn’t chosen as the 2015 American Birding Association Bird of the Year. Ditto for the feral Muscovy Ducks , though they are a bit less nice.
