Before heading to Europe I realized that I have been slacking on keeping my CT year list up to date! In case you forgot (or dont read my blog all the time), I'm challenging my friend Heather in Oregon to a birding challenge. Who will get the most species in there respective state for the year.
My list, over there on the right had been hanging out at 60 species even though I have been out, I swear! Well, before I get carried away with all the European birds I'm about to see and hopefully blog about, I wanted to update my CT bird list!!! yup I'm up to about 160 species. That's probably about 100 species under what's been seen in the state so far. I'll have to start chasing harder when I get back to CT.
About Me
- lynnjones11
- When I think back on memories from childhood, there is a strong theme of being outdoors, collecting insects for pets, and picking every leaf I could find. Although my interests expanded, in college I somehow came back to my roots and chose biology as a major. My love of natural history grew in conjunction with my knowledge, leading to career path of the same. After a brief stint with the US Forest Service, I now work at a natural history museum. Although, I have been participating in Christmas Bird Counts for over 10 years, I started birding in earnest in September of 2009. Since then the obsession has grown, equipment has been purchased, and lists have expanded. While, I love exploring my native state of Connecticut for birds, I enjoy travelling and hope to gear my trips more for birds in the future.
