My birds of 2011

eBird tells me I saw 136 bird species in 2011. Broken down by region, I get

Ontario - 107
Newfoundland - 16
Chile - 23
Pennsylvania - 10
District of Columbia - 4
New York - 4

They don't add up because of some species were seen in multiple places.

Upcoming Swoon shows

For those of you keeping track, Swoon 399 will be on January 2, and will feature my favourite tracks of 2011. Swoon 400 will be a special episode on January 9, because we all like magic numbers.

Free music for Christmas

Two labels have decided to give away some decent tunes for Christmas: first is LuckyMe, which is doing an advent calendar style track-a-day giveaway. Second is Infine, which has released a seven song ep called Pre-Masters. They're both good.
