2020 Year List and Gallery

 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.
