Wishing you peace and health in the New Year
We had a very busy birding year with Bob going daily to Morro Rock showing hundreds of visitors the Peregrine Falcons, a Burrowing Owl and many other birds. Heather went out eBirding keeping Checklists for Cornell most days and is up to 277 species in the San Luis Obispo County so far. I also went on a Pelagic Trip. Photos from top left down: Peregrine Falcon, Burrowing Owl, Bob, Pigeon Guillemot, Blue Grosbeak, Western Gull, Black-crowned Night Heron, Nuptials’s Woodpecker, Black Oystercatcher, Heather, Black-footed Albatross, American Avocet.
The best in the New Year for all of you

Thank you, Troy! It’s been fun and very educational for an East Coast Birder…
Lovely update. How amazing that you’ve now seen 277 species! I’m still trying to do Aqua Aerobics twice a week, but lately it’s seemed very cold to be there…but will get back to it soon. They changed the sessions to an hour. Here’s our yearly update.
Best wishes, Abby
