Birds of a Feather

Last January I challenged myself to identify and list all the different birds I would encounter over the next twelve months.  Now, a year later, I am pleased to report that I spotted fifty-one different varieties:  forty-three in my backyard and surrounding neighborhoods, eight in Holland, and one in Arizona.  Here are a few of the highlights.
