New Year, Fewer Goals

 No crazy birding goals or fundraisers this year, so perhaps it will just be a year of random photographs.

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.
