Further on the subject of birds, when I say I went hard on birds this spring...
According to my eBird stats I've spotted 160 species so far this year, just in Ontario. The only year that I got more was 2018, when I did my big northern trip and got 50+ extra western and arctic species that I have zero chance of seeing this year. The next biggest years include 2014 when I went to Scotland, 2016 when I went to Pennsylvania/West Virginia, and 2017 when I went to Nova Scotia/New Brunswick... you can perhaps see the trend here.
The point is, 160 while sticking close to home is probably nothing to sneeze at. And there's still some weird migrants floating around at the moment so let's see if I can keep on climbing....
