OMG SO MANY KINGLETS!!!!
Here is my #OctoberBigDay eBird trip report, showing which birds I encounter just *today*.
(These are also included in my #GlobalBirdWeekend trip report that runs Oct 10-12.)
AND there are still 8+ hours left in the day to do more #birding! 🤪

I went #birding for over 8 HOURS today! 🪽
And I STILL got work done in between checklists! 🤳🏽
I'm calling today a WIN! 💪🏽
Check out my #GlobalBirdWeekend Trip Report to see where I'm starting before birding and doing my first group #BigSit for #OctoberBigDay tomorrow!

I have gotten at least one #lifer every month this year except January. I already got one for October at the start of the month (a Nashville warbler 😏), but maybe I can get more this weekend? 🤞🏽
Wish me luck! 🐦

Today is the start of #GlobalBirdWeekend, which incorporates tomorrow's #OctoberBigDay (I'm going to my first ever #BigSit!).
I'll share my October Big Day Trip Report link tomorrow…but if you want to follow along the whole weekend, I created a report for all three days!

Picture of a phone screen with the SOC Where to Watch Birds in Scotland app open. The app shows a map zoomed in to north-east Scotland with pins to show the birding sites. Above the photo of the phone there is the text "Locate birds across Scotland".
