Today was a long day which began in Norfolk, VA at 4:30 AM Eastern Time and ended at 11:55 AM Rocky Mountain time in Phoenix. In between I visited Whitby Harbor to try for the Smew. Jean Iron and Ron Pittaway picked me up at Toronto Pearson Airport and we drove straight to Whitby Harbor. But a cold front had come in Wednesday night and all the Red-breasted Mergansers and the Smew were gone. Tomorrow I end the Big Year with a try for the Nutting’s Flycatcher. Thanks Jean and Run for all the help.
John I am so proud of you. You did a fine job of planning and carrying out your big year.
Come back to the valley soon and let’s have a leisure day of birding. Congratns, Jane K
Incredible accomplishment. Thanks for sharing your adventures and photos. I – and clearly many others- enjoyed the ride! Congratulations!
