After a bit of a dry spell since my last update, July brought just one new addition: the Willet (Tringa semipalmata). But with the arrival of August, things picked up—I’ve added four more species, bringing my year total to 99 at the time of this update.
That said, I did miss a couple key birds. The Ruff (Calidris pugnax) slipped by, and what seem to be my second nemesis birds for 2025: the Fulvous Whistling-Duck (Dendrocygna bicolor), joining the Gray Heron (Ardea cinerea), as two of the most elusive birds for 2025. So what will be my 100th bird for 2025? How long will it take before seeing it? Time will tell but I will update you ASAP.
