I'm planning to spend as much time birding as I possibly can, before I move (in July) to California--a lot of Eastern birds I need to get before I leave!dguzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811101661607351661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-13673947049210818932009-02-02T19:24:00.000-05:002009-02-02T19:24:00.000-05:00P.S.

I hate to be so far from home and not have what I need. I'm glad you remembered the extras before your toes fell off! You are one dedicated birder. Gus and I had a similar experience. We went to Saguaro NP last weekend and I did not see one new bird. It gets that way towards the end.Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-40698808437534705682009-02-01T22:47:00.000-05:002009-02-01T22:47:00.000-05:00Mary C.-Unfortunately I was rooting for the underd...Mary C.-Unfortunately I was rooting for the underdog-Arizona-Really I'm a Patriots fan though.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955054342034509500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-53888321233473141722009-01-31T19:47:00.000-05:002009-01-31T19:47:00.000-05:00Larry, I sure hope you did well earlier today and ...Larry, I sure hope you did well earlier today and were able to add a few more species to your count. I'm looking forward to your next post giving us your final count for January. I suppose you'll be watching the Super Bowl tomorrow? Are you rooting for Pittsburgh?

Bufflehead ducks are a dime a dozen around here in the winter on the river. Funny how species are distributed. Good luck on your last few day.
