Bills's Bird ListPennsylvania, August 14 to October 10, 2018

Below is Bill's bird species list from August 14, 2018 in Lackawaxen, PA and back home again on Wednesday, October 10, 2018. I'm posting this list for my birder sons Calvin and Bill and birder friends Jim Aupperlee, Bill Reitsma, Gary Link, Rob Unrath and John Dyksen, et. al.  Finally, since I'm posting on mid-day Sunday, October 7th, there may be a few additional species to add until we get home on Wednesday, October 10th, 2018.

Summary:

I was able to identify by sight and ear 107 species including 16 Life Birds and 9 Probable Life Birds. Habitat varied from marshland, ocean, lakes, prairies, both coniferous and deciduous forest, low and high altitude, driving in the truck and walking, both dry and wet conditions, from early morning to late evening with and without binoculars, by sight and ear.
