Birding Challenge
This page details the birding challenge I am completing during 2024 where I try to see all the species in my Birds of Utah field guide
For those of you that donβt know, I make birding and wildlife content. There are so many species to see, and it's been super fun working on growing my birding life list. I highly recommend you check out my YouTube channel!
One thing I have loved about birding is how friendly the birding community is overall! I am excited to get out more and grow this hobby, meet awesome people, and become a better birder.
2024 Birding Challenge
To make birding even more fun, I set myself a challenge for 2024. I am trying to see all 130 species in Birds of Utah by Stan Tekiela.
