2022 Wrap-up

 Guess I never did post the end of this, did I?

  • 205. Semipalmated Plover
  • 206. Caspian Tern
  • 207. Semipalmated Sandpiper
  • 208. Great Egret
  • 209. Pectoral Sandpiper
  • 210. Short-billed Dowitcher
  • 211. Solitary Sandpiper
  • 212. Black-bellied Plover
  • 213. Ruddy Turnstone
  • 214. Wilson's Phalarope
  • 215. Rusty Blackbird
  • 216. Fox Sparrow
  • 217. Surf Scoter
  • 218. Black Scoter
  • 219. Tundra Swan
  • 220. Horned Grebe
  • 221. Razorbill
  • 222. Red-throated Loon
  • 223. Iceland Gull
  • 224. Lesser Black-backed Gull 

A bit of time on the Hamilton waterfront and another December trip to Niagara worked the usual magic. Finally got my Lesser Black-backed, which is the one that got away on that same trip last year.

I probably could have pushed it even further, but I honesty kind of lost steam in the fall and winter and didn't go out nearly as much. Just proves to me that I could never do a real Big Year; I think it'd be exhausting.
