Lassa8's 2006 ABA List

[lassa8]

All lifers are in bold and all birds have been seen in New York this year unless otherwise noted. I have also added links to my website (http://natureexposed.ryandouglas.net/) for species that I've photographed in 2006. In 2005 I ended up with 301 ABA birds. This year, with a bit less travel planned, I'm hoping to hit 265.
