A very good day birding

 

The count keeps creeping up.  We started the month at 292.  We started this trip at 302.  We ended today at 312.  88 species to go to get to our target count, a lot of migration to go, and we can finish off the weekend with another full day of birding tomorrow.

 

I added our birding spots on the island to the trip map.
