Opening Commentary for 2023
Opening Commentary
Mike and I are definitely NOT doing another
Birding Big Year in 2023. However,
birding is always somewhat of a numbers game.
Do you think you’ll get a “January 100” this year? How many “20 warbler days” have you had? Do you have the “falcon trifecta” or have you
seen all the woodpeckers yet this year?
As one of the top Ohio birders said on Facebook, “It’s January 1st
and we get to start all over again!”
Mike said recently, “This “birding bug” is a disease and I’m not sure if
it’s curable.”
We now record all of our bird sightings on ebird
and are supposed to list the number of birds seen not just the number of
species. So, there are always numbers
questions. How many starlings are in
that tree? How many scaup are out on the
lake? Did you see seven or eight
robins?
Even though we don’t have a numbers
goal this year, we hope to be out there birding and I will continue to
periodically post on the blog with a few new birding adventures. Hope you continue to enjoy our blog.
