Species 75-114: I know, I know, I've been busy.

How bad have I been at keeping up with this? Reeeeeaaaalllly bad. I haven't posted in almost 2.5 months. I have gone birding a lot in that time, although not lately. Some of the places I've been during this peak of migration have been Jamaica Bay, Sweetbriar preserve in Suffolk, and Montauk Point in early April. I'm going to post the updated list for now and let you peruse it for your enjoyment. This time, I am attempting to make links for some of the more exciting birds so you can read about them on Cornell's "All About Birds" website.

Now that school is letting out, I will be getting myself and my binoculars out more often. There are still lots of shorebirds I have not seen since they came in during migration. Namely, I need some terns, piping plovers, skimmers, and peeps. In the woods, there are still a lot of warblers and flycatchers out there waiting to be found. And of course, let us not forget that on June 29th, Kim and I will be flying to Puerto Rico. I've already started compiling species I should see there. With any luck, maybe I'll see one of the 50 or so P.R. Parrots that still remain in the wild.
