What a great year 2013 was. I got to travel to 7 total states including Ohio, and see friends and family. I wanted to give a year in review and talk about plans for 2014.
I finished my 2013 Big Year at #338, which included 16 life birds, bringing me to a total of #532 Lifers for ABA. Not bad considering how much I did not bird. I just made a habit out of every place we went for vacation, I would take a couple of early AM hours and bird.
Big accomplishments:
136 species in Texas in March in 5 days
198 species in March, OH TX FL, goal was 200
94 species in 24hrs of birding at Biggest week in American Birding--Team Dickcissel
16 life birds
Places to visit in 2014:
March--Key West maybe
May--Big Month, Ohio/Colorado/Delaware-goal is 200 species
June--Seattle/Tacoma WA
Aug/Sept--Hawaii maybe
Oct late--Seattle/Edmunds WA
