I heard about your blog very late and tried to read from the beginning. What I read I really liked. I would have really enjoyed reading about your journey as you experienced it, daily. I had a similar effort this year with a small park near my house. I focused my birding there and increased the species count of the hotspot by 10 or so birds. I monitored 28 nest sites that I found in the early spring before I had to begin another birding project. I agree that it's good to explore where you live and I am doing more of that. I will, however, be traveling this year back and forth to the Eastern Shore to help complete the Maryland & DC Breeding Bird atlas in its final year. Good luck with all of your projects.
