My 2009 Year List

I was pretty active with my birding this past year and am diffidently still on a major learning curve. I managed to accrue a 262 count plus at least 6 non-countable birds for 2009. The vast majority were located in south Florida, which does offer some unique and special birding sites. Add to that the spring and fall migrations. Several species are on the endangered species list.

A couple of trips to northern Florida/Georgia and a trip up to Illinois in May for a family function helped to the list. My Life List is at 275 plus the 6 non-countables.
