Special thanks to Swarovski Optik for the epic Arizona trip in August as part of a bird blogger summit. Thanks to North Carolina's Crystal Coast tourism board that hosted dozens of media folks earlier this year.
Robert, LOL at your comment on my blog and Thank You! As for your list, that is quite an accomplishment as well. You have quite a few birds that I don't have, including the sharp-tailed sandpiper, the Wilson's Plover, and the puffin! Nicely done. You arranged the info nicely as well. I forgot to add the info about where I started at the beginning of the year. I may go back and amend my post now thanks to you! It sure is fun keeping tabs on you! Though we have not met in person...yet, I still feel like you are my birding buddy! You are certainly my eBird and statistics buddy! Here's to another wonderful year of birding and Birding is Fun. May your Life List grow just a wee bit slower than mine! ;-)
ReplyDelete(P.S. I never thought of noticing how many counties I have with lists over 100. You may have started me on a new quest!)
Well, I have 5 counties over 100 species but Davis County, Utah is at 99. I hope to get back up there this year and break through that wall! I started the year with 420 species. I only added 12 species to the list this year, but I was at 386 before moving back east in August of 2010. I am so frustrated over my Idaho list because I know I saw so many other species of birds there from when I lived there for 2 years but I don't have dates for them! I know I saw Tundra swans, cinnamon teal, and many others when I loved there. Oh well. I guess I just need to come back!
