Thursday December 31st
Today completes a very odd year. Lock downs, closed venues, travel restrictions all made life a bit tougher. Hopefully 2021 will find better times.
Didn't have a very strong year for birding. Missed a lot of species. We were locked out of most all of the good venues during spring migration because of the sickness.
