My birding experience took a massive turn when my parents bought me a copy of the Sibley Birder’s Life List and Field Diary for Christmas. I’d been taking photos and generally keeping track, but give me a list that I can check off? I’ll be all over it. Especially since I can keep track of what I see over several years!

I’ll note that the first 30 or so are arbitrarily numbered and the occasional bird missed my initial setup (see American Robin…oops!).

So without further adieu…my life list (at least the ones I’ve uploaded).
