It happened..... the Hawaiian provisionals escaped, bringing Lizzy Pusche (pusche) to 3rd place, and Matt Smith down to 5th. The Red-necked Stint is at 650, with 2 provisional's (Pink-footed Goose and Hook-billed Kite). I have been changing my Midway Atoll trip for the Pink-footed Goose, hoping for something good when I make my trip tomorrow (Laysan Albatross?). I am not trying hard since the game is almost over, but my goal is to get in the rank of 199, so I can escape Rank 206. But I still got my binocs on first place next ABA Big Year.
Akikiki is still at a whooping 858, leaving Rails_N_Quails and Lizzy Pusche (pusche) in the bobwhite's dust bath
Budget Big Year 2020 is now official!
Christmas Bird Count:
I am excited for the CBC as I might get to the 700 club! Fort Lauderdale the 14th, New Mexico the 26th, and Buckeye, AZ the 27th etc.
So hooray for the CBC!

I think this *is* a month to try hard, with the Christmas Bird Counts giving us a chance to clean up those pesky birds that are eBirded too sporadically (e.g. LeConte's Thrasher). Now we just need to hope the CBC folks use eBird!
ReplyDeleteI'll be listening for your whoop when you pass the 700 mark!
