The mixtape covering the year 2019 would be a rather boring affair, including mostly songs by The National, with one or two by Craig Finn and Hold Steady added, as well as Avant Gardener (almost none of which were released in 2019, showing how far behind I am these days). But I digress). How many legs? Well worth the trip.

I actually really hope to see this bird in 2019 in Costa Rica. Well, those are my resolutions for 2019. The post Resolutions for Birding in Costa Rica, 2019 appeared first on 10,000 Birds. However, the lack of cold doesn’t mean that we don’t have our own set of birding challenges in Costa Rica. Will I keep them?

I saw my first migratory Eastern Phoebe of 2019 this morning at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. As I have for the last several years, I will now ask the same question of midwesterners and northeasterners that I ask every year: When did you see your first Eastern Phoebe of 2019? 2019 – 17 March. And was it late or early?

Over the last ten years my average first phoebe has been the 20th of March, meaning that this year’s bird was seven days earlier than average but only two days earlier than last year’s, which, if I continue my trend from 2019 means that next year I should find my first phoebe on 11 March. 2019 – 17 March. 2021 – 13 March.
