Now that the nights are drawing in, what are you looking forward to most about your birding this winter?

Going through flocks of Wildfowl looking for something special. Similarly the gull roost. Not looking forward to freezing my knackers off doing it though.

We're only 2 weeks past the Solstice!

We are horribly hot here now (I laid sod today in 98° f (37°c) and thought I was going to die!), so I'm really looking forward to cooler temperatures. We have our first baby due next month, so this will be the first winter in many that I don't have a big trip planned, so I'm actually looking forward to some more local birding. I've missed some good winter migrants in the last few years because I was saving time for a trip, so I'm hoping for good migrants.

Being able to see the birds without all that pesky foliage in the way.

That and being able to actually properly ID birds from the field guide and not getting confused by unexpected juveniles

The first honking of the geese. And I'm always hopeful of seeing a Redwing, which seem to get harder to find every year (just got one last winter).
