The Christmas Bird Count was the answer.

She packed her bags, waved her family goodbye, and left for Sweden. I need to write a whole post so better start throwing in more details, maybe even a bird or two… Before the “ever after” there’d be a wedding, of course. I could be expecting birds from both these regions with maybe a straggler or two from the Atlantic region.
