Target list for January

Here is a list of birds that I may see this month. I will make a list like this at the beginning of every month. I am aiming to get 10-15 of these. I will edit the list by highlighting the birds I have seen and will show a list of what I have seen and where at the end of the month.

Years to date (Jan 31): 2014: 44        2015:46
