Global Bird Weekend & October Big Day - Day 2

Hudsonian Godwit

The October Big Day birding went better than I anticipated. I knew I would have only been able to get out late in the afternoon, so I planned and maximized the time I had ending the day tallying 51 species.   Nineteen of those species were a first for the Global Bird Weekend, ending yesterday with fifty-five species.  The final day of the Bird Weekend will be even busier for me but I will try to add a few more species.
