I was lucky enough to start my new year on Manasota Beach where I saw an impressive flock of 30 American White Pelican soaring in the thermals like vultures. 2 Magnificent Frigatebird were also seen later in the day.
Even later in the day I hit the Venice Rookery for a good selection of species including a hooting Great Horned Owl. On the way back I called in at Bowdoin Road Pond.

On Friday 3rd, the day of departure, 4 Sandhill Crane and an American Kestrel were in the area close to the house where we took a walk before departing for the airport.
Back up north I visited Leverett Pond for a site-tick Northern Pintail on Sunday 11th.
On the 26th a big snow-storm pushed up to 12 Dark-Eyed Junco onto the small yard feeder as well as 6 other common species.
On the 29th I saw a late/wintering Northern Mockingbird at Pierce Playground, Brookline.
