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.
