Hi All
Annie and I woke up on New Years Day and decided we wanted to see if we could 
see 100 bird species within a 100 miles before the end of January.  Our rules 
were we had to clearly see the bird.  Id by songs or calls were not allowed 
this meant we had to find the owls during the day light hours. We didn't make 
the 100 species goal but were not disappointed with the species we have seen.  
We had a blast and saw some fun birds.  In order of appearance the species are 
listed below.
