Today I did the hawk watch at Booth Hill in Hartland. It was uneventful since few hawks were seen but what was eventful was that it was my 7,000th recorded birding trip since the first on February 21, 1959.

Paul, congratulations on an incredible milestone.
That averages out to one trip every 3.26 days, for sixty two years.
Amazing!
