2019 in Review, plus a 2020 Celery Farm Big Year?
This being the year's end, I checked to see how many species of birds I had recorded at the CF and environs this year — 107, including my bird of the year, the Rufous Hummingbird (pictured above).
How many bird species did you record at the CF in 2019? What was your bird of the year?
Also let me know if you're interested in doing a Celery Farm Big Year in 2020… very informal.
Happy New Year!!

Happy new year! Not sure how many birds I saw at the Celery Farm in 2019 but I saw 5 new species there. My bird of the year (seen at the CF) was a white-eyed vireo, followed closely by an ovenbird. I’d be interested to do the Celery Farm big year, sounds fun!
