10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 8, 2018

I would add new sightings to my current year list, which has stood at 250 since the Bell’s Vireo I spotted in Kansas on September 7th. Still, after a week of bad news, environmental disasters, and a hurricane aiming right for my house, it felt good to watch a pair of Willets flying across the water. But it was not to be.

10,000 Birds

The places I expected ( Pillar Point Harbor in California and Ridgefield NWR in Washington) are right at the top of the list, but even places I thought I’d been to countless times have modest numbers. I don’t think I have added any new species, but I did add Alaska, Kansas, and Oklahoma to the group state list.

Jason hoisted his colours in Kansas and claimed the state for 10,000 Birds. Watch out for Tom during October to see this anomaly put right. Mark Hatfield Marine Science Center and Estuary Trail.
