Daily Recap:
I took my final walk of the month through the Town Forest today. Although it was a quick one, it still carried that familiar emotional weight that comes with looking back at how fast the month flew by.
It truly was an amazing, fast-paced month full of incredible birds and unforgettable experiences with people at the Town Forest. This place is a hidden gem, and given how well it delivered this year, it’s going to be a known spot for a long time.
A full month recap and a Statewide Big Day post are both coming once I’m back from vacation. For now, thank you all for sticking with me through every early morning, and every find. What a month it has been. Already looking forward to October.
