We don’t go out much this year. We record birds we see from the deck, but we’ve made no effort to go out and identify all the birds we can, like we usually do. Thinking about it today, I looked up our progress on eBird. Middle of August, we’re at 164 species for the year. This time last year we were at 411.
Wood storks are only here in the Valley in the summer. We decided to drive to Tiocano Lake, not far, and see if we could spot one before they leave in the fall. Success. We found one off in the distance with some roseate spoonbills.
