During 2023, I hope to see a total of 250 different bird species.
This will be quite a big challenge! The highest I have ever managed is 206 and that was with quite a lot of traveling around Ontario and a trip to The UK.
This page will be updated as the year goes by and, as always, videos of many birding adventures will be posted throughout the year on this website and on the BritHikesOntario YouTube Channel.
My birding videos are free and you can find blog entries about this challenge, listed below. Supporting me with a donation is greatly appreciated, but not compulsory. It helps to cover costs like running this website. If you’d like to donate, there is a little bit of extra “exclusive content” available here after you donate: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/brithikeson
