The Bird is the Word
Jenny & Adam
PHUKET, Thailand // That's right, we are still in full force bird mode, especially thanks to my cousin and his wife who gifted us a pair of binoculars before we left Hawaii. The Big Year winner spotted 755 different species in one year. We are well on our way to our 2016 resolution to identify 100 birds by the end of the year. Today we took a walk to the Sirinat National Park near our hotel and identified 2 new birds making our grand total 62 birds. It's actually been highly entertaining and I encourage everyone to stop and watch the birds wherever you are in the world // or just to make fun of Adam and I and our birding quest.
