This past Saturday was π¦ World Migratory Bird Day π¦ and π¦
Global Big Day π¦ for birding! Don and I got out to see how many species we could find and explore some new & familiar places near our home. We spent most of the day birding & hiking and ended up with 66 species of birds across 7 checklists. It was a beautiful day π and we ended with an Owl dive bombing coyotes at sunset!
