My 2023 Birding Big Year Day 1 Challenge!

Описание: Join me on the first day of my 2023 Big Year Challenge! I visited Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge near Sherman, Texas, hoping to see as many birds as I could, including a rarity -- Long-tailed Duck.
I also had good luck finding a Lapland Longspur, and I will be featuring it, as well as how to tell the difference between an Eastern Meadowlark and a Western Meadowlark.
