I added Barrow's Goldeneye (about 200) and a Rock Ptarmigan to my lifelist in Iceland bringing my Iceland haul up to 9 lifers. I didn't find any Red Phalarope, so I will have to return to see them in breeding plumage.
edit: If I count the Repoll I saw as Common, then that is now 550 species, 10 new in Iceland, previously I had only seen Lesser Redpoll in northern Germany. I'm not sure where the Islandic Redpolls fit in to all the recognised Redpoll species.

I continue to sweep up longtime nemesis birds.
Last weekend in the Kern River Valley, I tagged along with Southern Sierra Research Station researchers on Friday 7/11 and saw multiple Yellow-billed Cuckoos (lifer #470) in the South Fork Wildlife Area, where we tried but failed to capture any in our mist-net. On the plus side, we found a nest!
Then, on Saturday morning 7/12, after completing our portion of the South Fork Kern River Valley Rapid Assessment (basically a half-day CBC), also in the South Fork Wildlife Area, me and another birder headed over to the pinyon-juniper forest at Walker Pass some 20 miles east, where I finally heard and saw my lifer Pinyon Jays (#471), after numerous failed attempts at that spot over the years.

Four more lifers today, starting at Kiama in New South Wales, where it was fantastic to pick up both Wandering and Indian Yellow-nosed Albatrosses among numerous Black-browed Albatrosses from the shore, and then onto Sydney, where I found Long-billed Corella and Red-rumped Parrot.

Finally got around to heading over to Portland for the Hoody this weekend. The bird was feeling elusive - plenty of places to hide and 400 mates around to help - and the glare and dust from the quarry didn't help either, but I found him in the end. 
Looking up at the last post with more than a little green in the retinas, but I keep telling myself "Wandering Albatross only counts as one"
It's not helping, really.
One day.....

Latest life mammal: Binturong, Danum Valley, Sabah, Borneo
Still can't catch up with Short-toed Eagle in the UK through, even though it was initially found a mere 6 miles from my house, I was abroad at the time.

Medial-shafted king flycatcher Tyrannus x ferticalus https://www.flickr.com/photos/58824548@N04/14575937497/
...ah just kidding, if only hybrids could be counted (I made that name up by the way, it's a scissor-tailed x western kingbird hybrid I saw today).
Though, did see the real deal, so Scissor-tailed flycatcher is my recent lifer.
