I haven’t updated my apartment year list here since April 25th when I got to 75 species. Since I reached my goal of 100 species on August 8 I thought it was time for an update. I always hoped the 100th species would be a good one. It turned out to be one of the best of the year - an Eastern Screech-Owl calling from the tree outside the bathroom window at 4:10 am! The species I have added and the date I got them follow (in order) since my last post in April are below. The full list can be found here.
