[cobirds] Joe Roller Memorial Green Big Year update (150+ species!)

All,

Just a little update on the green big year. I managed to get up a few posts before I get too far behind on the storytelling and before migration gets hot!

In spite of passerine migration not really happening yet, I'm at 152 species! I FINALLY got a Peregrine Falcon on Saturday, which was Joe's favorite bird. Black Phoebe was species 150 with Peregrine coming just a couple minutes later. I got a lot of really great green birds in the last week or so, including a new CO bird for my list! You'll have to read to find out the details!

As always, please consider supporting the new Joe Roller Research Grant with a pledge or donation. All the funds go to CFO to support future ornithologists (and they help keep me motivated)!

Specific blog posts: 

Tues, April 13. Frozen water bottle, a broken shifter, and more. Quite the misadventure, but......

Wed, Apr 14 should have been another day off the bike, but alas I rode. Then I found a LONG-BILLED CURLEW!

Snowy, cold ride on Sat, Apr 18, but I got a lot of good green birds and topped 150 for the green year!
