    No answers yet, so I'll give it a go. #1 Agreed. #2 Not a GBBG. Bill is rather slim. Looks like a juvenile Herring Gull to me.

    ABA Big Year 2019

    Congartulations to John! Marvelous Alaska Christmas run. Is Siberian Tit (sorry, just can't get used to the american name) still possible? I understand it's very difficult, but John got it in 2016.

    2016 John got Whooper Swan on the last possible moment. I think he will try to the very end this year. http://www.birdingfordevils.com/p/this-is-listing-of-species-so-far.html

    John's latest blog post about the futile search of Nutting's Flycatcher and clarifications on his observation dates mixup mentioned by Muppit17. Sadly no new species. Next target is Black-headed Gull. https://birdingyear.com/arizona-innings-over/

    ABA Big Year 2019

    I have 872 species seen in ABA area (compiled from ABA blog rare bird reports). Anyway, I think "very possible" might be an exaggeration, but I think it's certainly possible. - It's likely that there will be new splits if current taxonomic trend continues. - There's additional species potential...

    ABA Big Year 2019

    Great Cormorant added. Now at 830 + 4 provisionals.

    ABA Big Year 2019

    You are right, totally forgot that the Parakeet is provisional. Speaking of provisionals: does anyone know what's the status of Stejneger's Scoter? Some Big Year birders have that on Joe's list.

    ABA Big Year 2019

    Yellow-chevroned Parakeet added. Next Australia visit (4th-7th). Now a 831 (including three provisionals) + 36 (not seen in 2016, including three provisionals) - 42 (seen in 2016, not seen yet this year, including two code 1's and two code 2's). Still needing a few rarities to break the record.

    ABA Big Year 2019

    I think it has to be an error, he left Elepaio instead of Swiftlet on the target list. There are pictures of Oahu Elepaios on his blog:https://birdingyear.com/oahu-birds-are-tough/

    ABA Big Year 2019

    Mariana Swiftlet is the only Hawaii species missed by John that he saw in 2016. He got five species from Hawaii not seen/countable in 2016, so I think overall he's happy about Hawaii birding this year. Indian Peafowl (2) Juan Fernandez Petrel (3) Black-winged Petrel (3) Newell's Shearwater (3)...

    ABA Big Year 2019

    Apparently he's not intrested in Continental ABA record: John's "hit list" from the blog post. Only obvious bird missing is Stejneger's Scoter. Is it still possible and is it going to be split officially? Lake Tahoe: Yellow-browed Warbler(trying tomorrow after missing the Canada bird!)...
