Now that we’ve been home a few weeks and are seeing spring birds in Vermont, it’s interesting to think back about some of the neat birds we saw this winter. I saw about 210 species with 25 new to me. There were no extremely rare ones this year like in the past although the Brown Jay was one that hadn’t shown up for a few years. Here are some of the ones that I particularly liked — some of my photos are not wonderful but give a taste of what we saw. Great birding all in all.
