Hunting for the Top 100

Travis and I went up to Plum Island today to try to track down a couple birds our Massachusetts lists. We saw 50 species on the day including Western Grebes(a rarity for MA), Razorbills (a lifer for me), and Horned Larks (lifers for both). I was hoping to see some Crossbills or Pine Grossbeaks. No luck other than a Crossbill flyover. It was a frigid gray day but as Trav and I say, "a bad day on Plum Island is better than a good day at work."
