I for one would really really really REALLY love to get Long-eared Owl.
However, lack of reliable locations, reports, individual birds and pine groves
all seem to be playing against me for that one. So far, I have one report of
(probably) a single bird. More reports of this species would be most welcome as
I have neither the time, nor the money to go wandering around random pine
groves with a half haphazard chance of finding one.
Otherwise, there are no other possible year birds I could get before midnight
tomorrow.
If I don't find the aforementioned Long-eared Owl tomorrow, it looks like my
2009 ABA area (and lower 48 too) year list will end up at 544 species.
I'll post a summary of 2009 sometime soon. This is the highest species count
I've ever gotten in a single calendar year and has included some awesome
rarities. More on that later this week. ;)
For now, I hope you all had an awesome year and are looking forward (as I am)
to 2010!
Happy Birding! --Chris W, Richland County

"The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first
material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the
composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no
more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be
again."
