Laura's comment about green birding struck home with me and relates to my own "300 story."
I reached 300 just after I completed a green birding year. Ironically, #300 ended up being almost a bit depressing in the context of the excitement of my local green birding quest. All I did for #300 was get in my car and drive to Shoreview! And to top it off, the bird was a Mute Swan (which I've seen hundreds of times in the Chesapeake, where it is considered a "pest species"!) I still was pleased, but with postings and cars, it almost seemed too easy. I guess I should have biked to Shoreview! <smile> Since that green year (when I had 210 "green birds") I've always dreamed of trying for 300 green birds. But that would involve state-wide biking and I'm not sure I'm up for that challenge! Diana Doyle S.
