I also conducted several bird surveys and studies including my Breeding Bird Survey route through Belchertown south to Monson, a couple of Eastern Whip-poor-will surveys including a new one through Quabbin Park and nearby areas (plus my original survey on Prescott Peninsula), field bird surveys on Prescott Peninsula, Common Loon surveys at Quabbin and a couple other bird surveys.
What will the new year bring? Who knows for sure… just happy to be around
to find out. I already have a short trip
to Florida and another trip to Costa Rica planned.
