31 Days of Birding

I just finished doing 30 Days of Biking, which is a challenge to get people to ride their bikes every day in April.  Doing that has inspired me to start my own challenge for May, which is 31 Days of Birding!  I am going to get out and bird every single day in May.

As part of this challenge, I am going to keep track of every bird species I see in May.  So as to not bore you, I will be keeping the list as a separate page, then linking to it here.  As part of this, I will also be keeping a total of the number of bird species I see for the month.  As I've never been much of a lister, I don't really have any idea of the total number of bird species that I see.  It will be interesting to see what totals I get to for this month of birding!

Yesterday, we were at Interstate State Park in Wisconsin, and it seems like spring migration was really kicking in - we saw several new species for the year, including Ovenbird, Northern Waterthrush, and Golden Crowned Kinglet!  I can't wait to see more!
