2023 May Bird-A-Day Challenge

Image Series

It is time for the May Bird-A-Day Challenge, a challenge hosted by the Backyard Bird and Wildlife Lovers Facebook Group. The goal is to spot a different species each day of the month. Once a species has been used, it cannot be used again, and the species for that day cannot be changed once it is finalized.
