I'm not a very serious lister but had hoped to top 300 in 2020. But then SARS-CoV-2 had plans of its own.
So our trip to New England which would have provided a nice array of eastern birds didn't happen, and I stayed at home much more than expected.
In the end I totaled 224 species for 2020, which for ME is actually not bad, considering that fact that I only bird sporadically in a given year.
Here are a few of my favorite bird images taken in 2020:
