Birding '05
Welcome to my Birding '05 List. This was something of an experiment for me, since before this year I'd never chronicled all the species I'd observe in a calendar year. But in the end I did enjoy it enough to keep it going.
For this list I may not have documentation for all the dates and locations, since I started this in April. I remembered what I'd seen all year, but I didn't always remember when. Missing info affected only the species I'd already seen early that year in Colorado.
