The first half of 2016 ended on a high note with some good birds, ok photos and super scenery.? Here is a blog post covering the past week.

When I started 2016, my goal was to see 300 species in Washington, get some nice photos, have fun and most importantly to lose the weight I had put on during the past few years of lots of birding thinking I was getting a lot of exercise - but wasn't - and eating WAY too much bad food on the road.? I have managed the first three goals and have gotten half way to?the fourth as well which is the most important.?I will certainly chase some more birds the rest of the year (now if only a Rose Breasted Grosbeak would let me see it) but not as much as I have.? I will certainly have fun and get some more photos.? But after the 4th I plan a lot of time in?the gym and continue with those vegetables.? Hope to see you in the field - and at the gym would be great as well.
