I've never listed before, so this should be interesting. I'm sure I won't have a high number, but I might surprise myself and will let you know what I find.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-54906509470914723582008-01-12T04:53:00.000-05:002008-01-12T04:53:00.000-05:00monarch-I'm not really a lister(other than a life ...monarch-I'm not really a lister(other than a life list)-but keeping track of birds on a list for 1 month is an easy way to start.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955054342034509500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-86832968336175445642008-01-11T23:24:00.000-05:002008-01-11T23:24:00.000-05:00January is a great time of the year for listers! ...January is a great time of the year for listers!

My local list has always been very important to me, and also keeping track of the numbers EBIRD.ORG. EBIRD also help track lists by location, last I finished January w/ 111 in Mass. (thanks to an 88 species day during the superbowl of birding in essex county) and 235 for the year. This year I will also keep track of my "human powered birds", from home, via walking or bicycling...note the BiGBY link for human powered birding on my blog. There are nearly 200 people onboard from aorund the globe!.Tom Pirrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399923571288826319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-87595837003195046062008-01-10T22:25:00.000-05:002008-01-10T22:25:00.000-05:00I have only cleared 90 species in January once, in...I have only cleared 90 species in January once, in 2006 when I saw 97 species. I also came close in 2004 with 82. I should clear 90 easily this year since I am already up to 75. (Those are not state lists, but they were compiled over a few states with similar avifauna.)John B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00163297234733313179noreply@blogger.com
