My initial goal in doing another Birding Big Year was to beat my Big Year total from a few years ago. My old record, when I was much more of a novice birder, was just 93 species in one year. After a little more than a month, I have moved past that number.
91. Indigo Bunting (Passerina cyanea) - Gunflint Lake, MN
92. Black-and-White Warbler (Mniotilta varia) - Gunflint Lake, MN
93. Red-eyed Vireo (Vireo olivaceus) - Gunflint Lake, MN
94. Nashville Warbler (Vermivora ruficapilla) - Gunflint Lake, MN
My next goal for this Big Year is to reach 100 species. I also want to add a significant number of birds this year to my life list. The Indigo Bunting and the Nashville Warbler were both added to the life list on June 1st.
This birding blog covers my birding adventures in my home state of Minnesota and beyond.
