Sometimes, New Year’s Resolutions don’t take flight in January, like one would hope. And, thus, due to a slight delay on my part, we began our great Bird of the Month birding adventure this year in March, a little behind, but not too bad, because we have had 10 months with 10 amazing birds. Thanks for joining me on this expedition.
