Greetings All:
I'm going to give it one more try: while polishing off the historical
data for eBird I'm going to take it easy and try, once more, to have a
good year in the yard, shooting for 40 species of butterfly, 0 species
of amphibian (should be able to get that one), 2 species of reptile,
80 species of bird, and 4 species of mammal - with at least 90% of the
critters seen photographed.
Next year, by gosh and by golly, I will do something different:)
I got off to a slow start in January (due in part to continued mild
weather depressing winter bird numbers and due in part to huge amounts
of volunteer work that had to be put in), noting only 16 species of
bird and 1 species of mammal, putting me at 0%, 100%, 0%, 20%, and 25%
of my taxonomic goals. Of the seventeen species recorded during the
month, I managed photographs of 15 species or 88.24%.
February is looking pretty grim (as I have already lost the first ten
days to flu) but who knows.
