Bird Count Begins Again

Each year I start my bird count over. Last year I ended with 52 birds photographed. I hope to get past that number this year. My husband and I went out for a walk today and I photographed three birds. It’s not much but it’s a start for the new year.

#1 European Starling

#2 Sparrow

#3 American Crow

Bird Watching

I haven’t been bird watching in a long time. I went to Huntley Meadows to do some bird watching. I didn’t find any new birds but it was fun to get back to taking pictures of birds and seeing them in nature.

I walked 2.02 miles on the treadmill and a total of 5.22 miles today.
