February Overview

In February, I had less species than initially forecast, with just 4 species seen, but then again, January had many more than expected, so it's not a surprise. The mystery goose's identity may never be known for sure, but I still definitely saw an early AMERICAN WOODCOCK, a wandering Red-Breasted Merganser (another seen one day too), Red-Winged Blackbirds as a harbinger of spring, and an unexpected COMMON RAVEN near my apartment. These four nice additions to the year list increase the total to 60 species, a total I did not reach until early April last year. So far so good on the road to beating last year's total!
