Al, I do very little birding in December (other than the Christmas Count) and focus on Christmas, shopping, and family in that month. Come January new year lists start (ND, SD, and MN) and that freshens things up. I try to make one trip to boreal Minnesota and one to Pierre South Dakota. The large numbers of birds (longspurs, raptors, waterfowl, robins, waxwings, solitaires, owls, finches, gulls and gallinaceous birds) in the Pierre area is an especially nice change from Fargo.
