This past weekend I hit 150 bird species for the year with a nice early push of swallows. Halfway to my modest goal of 300 birds for the year. I don't have any trips planned so it might be a little difficult.

I finally refound the Thick-billed Longspurs in Sutter County this weekend. Too distant for pictures but this lovely Prairie Falcon that landed in the field was more cooperative. #birding #birds #falcon

Almost to 100 for the year. It was a beautiful day for a quick birding jaunt. I visited a country cemetery in the area I grew up and found 5 Pink-bellied (currently Lewis's) Woodpeckers and a gorgeous Ferruginous Hawk soaring nearby.

I finally made it!
