Happy Trails...To You.....

Happy Trails To You.....
Until...We Meet again....
Happy Trails To You...Until....

OK!! Enough of that. Lyn and I are are attempting to record 2000 species of birds this year. We are at 77 for the year only 1923 to go not bad this means we will have to average 192.3 new birds per month....maybe!
So we are off for a little shake down trip.

First we head to the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Over wintering ducks. Then to Ocean City, Maryland for an overnighter (Free use of Condo). We hope to rack up all three species of Scoter, 2 of Loons (Divers), Long-tail Ducks, Eiders, and maybe even a Screech-owl at Blackwater.

Leaving OC we head south and cross over the Chesapeake Bay in VA...stop at tunnel and check out what is there...Purple Sandpiper..any Scoters we might have missed....who knows?

Then it is off to Florida...Pensacola first. visit Ann and Dan Forster....then Everglades and Keyes...just to see what is there...up to Miami and off to Venezuela for 15 days...we have arranged for a guide and transport and we are off to Henri Pittier National Park and so on and so on..

We will return sometime around April 2nd or 3rd...who knows?

We will post then.

Just to let you know what is on the burner so to speak.
February- Minnesota
February & March- Florida and Venezuela
April- 2 weeks in Colorado and Wyoming...back to MD..early migration
May- Iceland and Norway
June- Brazil (Looking for 2 people to round out this one)
July- Brazil
August- Southern Ecuador & Northern Peru for Tumbesian Specialists
September- Bolivia (Looking for one person to round out a 3 person trip. This is a great trip)
October- Back to Peru for Southern Birds and a little sight seeing
November- Argentina
December- Argentina and Chile

So good birding everyone.

See you soon.
