On March 20th I took a ride to check out riding with binoculars on a chest harness. It worked out very well. That happened to be the first day of spring, so I decided to keep a spring unicycling list. By the end of May migration was over and I was only finding established resident birds along my usual routes, so I switched over to monthly lists in June.

While Spring technically continues through most of June, it is clear that spring migration is over and that I have already probably found all the resident birds that I am going to find along my regular routes (with the possible exception of Dickcissels, which sometimes don't appear until June). To keep it fresher every time I head out, I will switch over to monthly bird lists for my unicycle rides.
