Howdy!

I thought there might be a way to sneak in one more trip to Douglas County for the year, but it just wasn't in the cards with weather, family, and work. So the grand total for the year will remain at 204. New posts are up on my blog<https://douglascountybirding.blogspot.com/2022/01/november-29th-no-bird-november.html> for my November trip (finally!). The blog always promises stunning landscapes, and November in Douglas County delivered some of those for sure. Embarrassingly there are no pictures of food - for this I apologize. Generally, I also try to promise bird pictures that are far below average, but there is a Prairie Falcon picture in there that I was pretty happy with in the end. Thanks so much to the local birders who helped through the year, and for birders on these listservs who have helped with puzzling photos along the way.

I'll try to get a recap of sorts together in the weeks to come.

2022... Klickitat!

Oh, and my first bird of the year - Pileated Woodpecker. I've been socked up inside all day writing, but even that couldn't keep me from hearing that sucker.

Cheers,
