10,000 Birds

DECEMBER 31, 2019

I also spent a week in northwestern Costa Rica on a family vacation, a long weekend in Barbados, a week in Georgia, and two week-plus-long trips to visit relatives in southern California. Number 8 – Brown Pelican. It was a long wait but well worth it and Brown Pelican is an easy addition to my top ten list.
