BRITISH COLUMBIA AND ST.PAUL 10/4 -10/6

St.Paul has been my default location for a while now. But I did leave St.Paul on the 4th to go to British Columbia (Canada) to chase the Brown Shrike (Code 4). I (thought) I might have a fine chance of chasing it, but NO! I miss it. I luckily ended up with 6 new species in BC. And now for St.Paul! On the 5th I got the.... Hawfinch! And Bohemian Waxwing. On the 6th I got a Common Goldeneye and the GRAY WAGTAIL! But this Fanbirder just saw that he got the GARGANEY on the 5th! What a week! My total now is 539 (would be: 545, if all my provisional birds would get out)! And my rank would be in the 290s. 

What a week for Fantasy Birding!

I posted that about how the Yellow-green Vireo that I got on the 1st I got more species that day that I did not add on that blog post. Here is the list:

Western Grebe, Clark's Grebe, Virginia Rail, White-faced Ibis, Red-breasted Sapsucker, White-throated Sparrow, Western Meadowlark. Provisional: Hooded Merganser, Yellow-green Vireo (obviously), Virginia's Warbler, and Blackburnian Warbler. 

Texas (today and yesterday):
Neotropic Cormorant, Great-tailed Grackle, Purple Gallinule, Black-bellied Whistling Duck, and King Rail. 

I am now up to 530 (would be 534 if all of the birds would get out of my Provisional list)

Now, I am chasing the Brown Shrike tomorrow and the Hawfinch on the 5th.
