My Total Number Of Species Seen For January 2009 Is......exactly 100 species!


Congratulations to all of those who participated in Big January. I hope you were able to achieve your personal goals and enjoyed the the experience. I'm not sure what Kathie's final total was but she was already at 107 species on her last post. Good Job Kathie! You earned every species on your list by doing some serious birding.
