"I'm doing a Big Year, Dad. Spending the year trying to see as many different species of bird as I can."

 A new year and I'm in a new home in a new state. I moved from Florida back to my home state of Connecticut at the end of 2022, and I was excited to start my new year watching our feeders for winter visitors. I splurged on birdseed infused with cayenne pepper to keep the squirrels away and settled into my cozy blankets to welcome my feathered guests. I was not disappointed.
