Birding Charlevoix: December 2014
http://www.birdingcharlevoix.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Birding from my home location in Charlevoix, MI. Wednesday, December 17, 2014. Northern Hawk Owl and Krider's? Saturday, I decided to spend the morning birding in the Eastern U.P. again after a report of a Northern Hawk Owl came in. I was also hoping that I might find an Iceland Gull at the Dafter Landfill. I picked up my mom and we headed to where the Hawk Owl had been sighted and found it relatively quickly. Tuesday I helped out with the Cheboygan Christmas Bird Count. It was rainy all day long and...

Birding from my home location in Charlevoix, MI. Monday, November 3, 2014. Whitefish Point, Beaver Island, and a couple of Rarities. Here are a few pictures and videos I was able to take of the bird yesterday evening. I've also been trying to help out with owl banding up near the Straits of Mackinac as much as possible. Here are a couple of pictures I took while doing that. Closer to home, I did manage to find a few interesting Geese around Charlevoix County. Snow Geese with Canada Geese.

http://www.birdingcharlevoix.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Birding from my home location in Charlevoix, MI. Wednesday, September 24, 2014. Very Quick Catch Up! As of today I am at 272 species for the year. It will be exciting to see where that number ends up! Needless to say, I have been quite busy recently and for the most part this post is just going to be a bunch of random photos, since I know that is probably the part you both enjoy the most anyway. But before the photos, here are a few highlights:. Having covered all that, it is time for some random photos!

Birding from my home location in Charlevoix, MI. Monday, June 23, 2014. Southwest Trip Day 7. Come on Bob, what's the score already!

Birding Charlevoix: February 2015
http://www.birdingcharlevoix.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Birding from my home location in Charlevoix, MI. Tuesday, February 3, 2015. It's About Damn Time! Somehow, I realized this evening that it is already February and I never did an end of year review for 2014. In fact, I haven't submitted a post in a very long time (more on that later). And here is also a video of it. I apologize, but that will be all of the photos and videos for this post (for reasons I will discuss later). So where does that leave 2015? Only time will tell. This may be the last post for q...
