I just want to add that it's a really great weekend when you can spot two arctic sea duck species off the coast of central Florida!

Went out again today to another site. Still extremely cold, but managed a few nice species, though missed some birds of prey that I was hoping to get.

51) Rough-legged Buzzard
52) Black Woodpecker
53) Eurasian Bullfinch

An addition seen from the window of my classroom - I was paying attention, promise. :p

54) Common Starling

A bit unusual at this time of year as they don't usually show up until early March.
