My BirdTrack-inspired graphics for 2025 sightings built from @Team_eBird data. Grok helped me update the Jupyter notebook to create the images. May & Nov the best months (as usual). Most productive sites were two 'My Yards' & nearby Audubon & State Park hotspots. Big cumulative uplifts from Alaska in July & Florida in Dec/Jan.
Undoubted highlight was a summer trip to Anchorage, Alaska to Vancouver, BC, with awe-inspiring landscapes & North Pacific species, 71 species seen including 26 lifers (screenshot shows 67 seen in AK).
Good finish to my 2025 birding year with my second best ever annual total. A few lifers last few days in Orlando, FL area. Over 200 species within 10 miles of my CT home too.
