Dan and Tom's 11th Annual Trip to Magee Marsh
We start with Tom Bartlett's Annual "Big Sit." This year Tom Bartlett ID'd 112 birds without leaving his perch.
There are many ways to watch birds.

Note the female tree swallow has nesting material in her beak while she is mating.
The local economy must not be booming.

The only time these little buggers slow down is to eat.

The last photo of the year is a beautiful one from Dan.
Every year Danny and I go head-to-head in a battle over who can see the most varieties of warblers. Dan won this
year, 27-26. I had a great time, Danny, and I'll get you next year!
