Hi, your Secret Santa here! It’s finally December! What’s your favourite thing to do during this time of the year?
I like trying to uncover secrets by analyzing regional spelling variations!
Dad joke.
No, actually, one thing I look forward to all year is the Christmas bird count. This year our local count will be on December 18. I love having an excuse to spend all day birdwatching. I could do that any day, of course, but doing it as part of an organized effort that produces useful citizen-science data, and has the added fun of being a competition in which our local small-but-doughty birb fandom gets to measure itself against the nationally-ranked powerhouse up the road in Santa Barbara (spoiler: we lose) is fun.
