:eek!: :eek!: :eek!: I know the Aplomado Falcons are being reintroduced (so are eastern Peregrines), but what ws wrong with the Thick-knee?

Wait I counted that up round up... there's only 111 points up for grabs. So if you aren't counting a 5 and a 4... hmmm. Still it sounds like you ACED a round!

:eek!: :eek!: Somebody must have spiked my tea this morning. What I meant to say of course *cough* was that I got 51 not counting the Aplomado nor the Thick-knee. 8-P

LOL:-O - I've been using a clicker to tally up my totals, and since it was early when I did it this morning, I apparently forgot to reset it before tallying up round 5. D'oh! 55+51 = 106. I never was good with math.

Anyway, my real total is 272. (someone had better check my math. ;) )

Even playing as a B player I could not get up to 106 for this round (92 as a B player), having not seen Corn Crake, Common Crane, Spotted Rail, nor Red-footed Falcon.

I didn't count the Arizona thick-knee since it was not accepted as a naturally occurring vagrant (just the old King Ranch, Texas record exists for the ABA area).

Chris, there has been a Common Crane in with all the Sandhill Cranes a couple of times up in Nebraska on the North Platte River when I have been up there. But I have always managed to miss it somehow. Perhaps one of these times I will get to see it!

17 for me that round. Strange how my high scorer (Piping Plover) is an everday bird around me.
 
21 for me, so I'm up to 164. I don't really have any rare stuff! Half the stuff on that list is super rare... :scribe:
