January 3 – Ed

Back to the salt mines for Lise and me so the only new species we have are local birds from the feeder or neighborhood. Dark-eyed junco, house sparrow and red-tailed hawk giving us 25 species. Using the species a day metric we are up to January 25.
   
Our next move is to plan out some local trips for this weekend to get the species present during winter in mid-Michigan. Something a little less grueling than having to drive eight hours to the Upper Peninsula. We love the UP, and Marquette in particular, but it isn’t a quick trip. We can get into western Pennsylvania or down to the Ohio River in the same amount of time.
