Hi Robert. It was good to meet you today (my son and I chatted with you for 25 mins at Weeki Wachee). I hope you got to hear that Whip-poor-will and also those pesky sparrows! Good luck with the rest of your Big Year!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun meeting you both. Thanks And yes, the Whip-poor-will was bird 236 of the year and I think my 93rd Florida Bird.
ReplyDeleteHey Robert, I checked out that Possum Branch Preserve today and it was fantastic - thanks! It took my year's total to 154 and my month's total to 107 (my county total has now reached 145!). I'm so glad you got to see the Le Conte's Sparrow and the Cinnamon Teal and the White-winged Dove and the Budgies! Well done on hitting the big 300 and good luck with seeing that Roadrunner! Take care, and happy birding....
ReplyDeleteYour April 12th blog (lost phone) was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteMy Friday 13th lived up to expectations, but on the 12th I finally got to see my #1 wish-list bird, a Burrowing Owl, so that was great!
County list now 149!
Take care and good luck!
