I am up to 515 (all in Costa Rica) but would have at least 20 more if I had been able to bird migration hotspots on the Caribbean Slope during Spring migration. I hope I can get out more when the birds come back down this way.

Hi, Patrick.

That's an impressive total. How many species do you expect to see in the year in CR?

Still very poor for migrant songbirds here but picked up a few today:
232. Golden-winged Warbler
233. Yellow-breasted Chat
234. Magnolia Warbler.

So my year total is only 30 behind the most recent Big Day total!!!

Looks like the weather this weekend might produce a good crop of migrants but I'll miss it because I'll be in Guadalajara, Mexico. Although I don't keep lists for other countries, I should see some interesting birds on my one free day there.

One new bird for my Year List today, so I'm up to 451.

451. Nashville Warbler

In addition to the warbler, I added Western Cattle Egret, Peregrine Falcon, and Willet to my ABA Area and Indiana year lists, which are at 182 and 175, respectively.

I managed three new year birds for Missouri:

163. Common Tern, Horseshoe Lake, Saint Joseph, Missouri.
164. Yellow Rail, Lake Contrary, Saint Joseph, Missouri.
165. King Rail, Lake Contrary, Saint Joseph, Missouri.
 
Patrick, I would be doing very well indeed if I could see 300 species in Missouri in one year!

* I did tally 289 species in Missouri in 2002. That is as close I ever got to 300.
 
Three new birds for my Year List today, so I'm up to 454 for the year.

452. Bank Swallow
453. Orchard Oriole
454. Long-billed Dowitcher

In addition to those birds, I added Eastern Kingbird, Tennessee Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Summer Tanager, and Baltimore Oriole to my ABA Area and Indiana year lists, which are at 191 and 184, respectively.
