Some of you might recall I conducted a Mammal Big Year in 2016. My 2nd biggest mistake was not coming to Tweeters early on for advice (worst mistake: not being born wealthy).
Next year I'm trying for reptiles, amphibians and fish. This is to see what's possible when I do a full-on Vertebrate Big Year when (fingers crossed) I retire in a few years.
Please send any tips for where and when to find the less common species. You can contact me directly so as not to clutter this site with nonbird stuff. Thanks in advance for any help!

I'll have specific questions as I develop a strategic timeline. In the meanwhile, it would be great if one of you broke my totally unofficial Washington year record of 58 mammals. I'd be happy to assist if you're looking for an exciting challenge.
