Staring the #BigSit off right by leaving camera and binoculars at home! At least I have 4 fully charged camera batteries with me!🙃
(I do have some binoculars on hand, that we loan out, but really need mine which are better in low light.)

I went #birding for over 8 HOURS today! 🪽

And I STILL got work done in between checklists! 🤳🏽

I'm calling today a WIN! 💪🏽
