There is supposed to be a Connecticut Warbler here...somewhere! |
I managed a good day today for the species count, with some morning birding and an evening visit to Petsmart and Walmart.
Birding was great this morning, with my best bird being two
Connecticut Warblers calling in the underbrush at the Clinton Wildlife Management Area. While grocery shopping, I checked out the herbal tea section, which I had previously skipped, and found a lot of exotic chinese herb species. Petsmart had a few more reptiles and amphibians, and I didn't have time to check out all the fish and aquatic plants, so I'll be making another trip over there next week. At Walmart, I just had time to skim through the cactus collection, and pulled out quite a haul there.

My final daily tally was 93 new species, for a total of 628--only 28 behind the pace I need to hit 1000 by the end of the month.
My strategy, such as there is, will be to hit a bunch of nurseries and hopefully some botanical gardens for the bulk of the remaining needed species. I may have to hit some big pet bird stores in the state as well. I can probably get another 20 birds or so with some luck this week, unless I head to the shore--then I could probably pick up some more. Will have to do some additional exploring to see where I might pick up a bunch of additional species without having to go to the Philadelphia Zoo!
