October-December Recap

I added 50 species in the year’s final quarter including 9 in Chicago and 20 in one day’s birding in central Florida. 

Of the 21 birds in Arizona, 12 were state birds – Pectoral Sandpiper, American Redstart, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Glaucous-winged Gull, Barrow’s Goldeneye, Mew Gull, Long-tailed Duck, Rusty Blackbird, Thayer’s Gull, Glaucous Gull, Nutting’s Flycatcher and Red-throated Loon - doubling my state bird total for the year! 5 of these were lifers and another was new for me in the ABA area.
