Last month I shared that I am trying to reach and exceed my personal best in Hardin County. My PB was 145 set two years ago. I set the goal of having 150 by the end of May...today is May 2, and I'm already there. Lawrence Woods and Andreoff had lots of migrants and breeders today. I had 91 species today, which was 30 more than two days previous.. 75 in Lawrence Woods wildlife area and SNP, 5 at Salisbury Park, and the rest were from Andreoff and the return trip home. IF this month is like previous years, I should be close to 170 by June. Lots of birds still to come in. I think we are a week early based on what came in last few weeks.
List below from first to last in order of first seen.
Get out there and have a great weekend!
