Wow! Fantastic work, Zach (and everyone else!)
270 is a great number … I'm rooting for you to get even more Zach while I chill down here in Tucson. lol.

Thanks James! Hope you are keeping warm down there!

I also took this stunner today of a Sharp-shinned Hawk:





There are lots around here this week; I'll see if I can't come up with something better. LOL.

For those of us in the Lower Mainland, you can currently find the elusive Black Scoter off Centennial Beach in Tsawwassen (there are around a dozen near the border).

You're trying to get us to 300 all by yourself, Zach! Lol. Very nice work! 273+ is a fantastic year!

Hi Devon! Great shot of this Bluetail! It's a nice addition to the collection -- but if it was taken in 2013, it doesn't count towards our "2019 Big Year." However, really like the detail in this photo!
