I don't know about you, but my birth month is the toughest of the year for
me to find birding joy.
I would appreciate learning what others normally do this time of year to
satisfy their appetite for unique (in-state) birding observations when they
are not (deservedly) overwhelmed by the armed occupation of a beloved
wildlife refuge that will (unfortunately) end with the loss of at least one
life.
