Big Year Update: February

The second month of the year looks a lot better than the first for both my Big Year 2020 and Photographic big Year challenges.  In the case of my Big Year, I added 10 species to finish the month at 71 bird species. The birds added were:

1. Caribbean Martin (Progne dominicensis)
2. Semipalmated Sandpiper (Calidris pusilla)
3. Red-billed Tropicbird (Phaethon aethereus)
4. Pacific Golden-Plover (Pluvialis fulva)
5. Northern Waterthrush (Parkesia noveboracensis)
6. Southern Lapwing (Vanellus chilensis)
7. Western Sandpiper (Calidris mauri)
8. Belted Kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon)
9. Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias)
10. Lesser Black-backed Gull (Larus fuscus)

For the Photographic Big Year challenge, I added 7 images to close the month off with 9 images. The month of March is normally a quiet birding month so I am not expecting any big jumps in the Big Year 2020  tally.  What that does though, is afforded me time to concentrate on gaining quality images for the Photographic Big Year list.  Let's see how that goes.
