Snow geese........... ...Evening Grosbeaks
In case anyone is interested (and I can't really think of anyone who reads this blog who would be), Andy and I each saw 249 birds in 2007. 33 of those were life-birds for me, and 28 for Andy. It's not the best year we've ever had, but it is the second best since we've officially been keeping track (2004). In 2006, thanks to the 60 lifers we saw on our Rio Grand Valley, TX trip, we had our best year ever (Andy 269, Carrie 263). That year will be hard to beat, but if we hadn't spent roughly 4 months indoors while I was on pregnancy bedrest, I'm sure 2006 would be impossible to beat, so at least we have something realistic to shoot for! In 2008 we're looking forward to a March trip to southeastern Arizona where we'll try to squeeze in as many new birds as possible in between the general sightseeing, visiting friends, and kiddie-friendly activities. Wish us luck!
Enjoy these photos Andy took in 2007!!
