How Is Your 2016 List Going? (2 Viewers)

Two new birds this afternoon, so I'm now up to 110 for the year.

109. Tree Swallow
110. Long-tailed Duck

The duck was a Preston County lifer (number 220), my second in five days.

Very heavy rain last night brought a great fallout of mostly waterfowl and gulls this morning. Of all the birds that had moved in, I picked out one new bird for the year.

111. Bonaparte's Gull

Alas! My numbering system was off a little bit, and I find that my total count for this year is not what I thought it was. I found that I had recorded some of the birds twice!! So, I am at a rather dismal 89 species.
 
One new bird today puts me at 114 for the year.

114. Great Horned Owl

The bird is sitting on a former Red-tailed Hawk nest at a nearby state park.

While watching our backyard bird feeders this morning, a new Missouri Year Bird flew into our yard and landed on the trunk of our huge Sycamore Tree. It was a Brown Creeper, #90 for the year.
 
20 March

119. Penduline tit (1st UK)
120. Sanderling
121. Shore lark
122. Black redstart
123. Green winged teal (for those who consider it a species anyway)
124. Ringed plover
 
126 blue-winged teal
127 turkey vulture
128 yellow-bellied sapsucker

Now being in NE not MO (where there are more birders), the sapsucker put me at slot 60 for the state list in eBird. I haven't got out West at all in the less than one year I have listed here.

226. Whooper Swan
227. Tundra Swan

The first birding I've done since I got back from Africa. Went to look for the Tundra Swans that turned up just outside Uppsala two days ago. Tundra Swan was a Swedish lifer too.
 
One new bird this morning puts me at 116 for the year.

116. Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

This is a bird that I should have seen in early January, but as so often happens in birding, this relatively common bird had eluded me thus far this year.

In addition to the previously seen shorebirds of Pectoral and Least Sandpipers, today I added another shorebird to my 2016 Missouri List.

91. Long-billed Dowitcher
 
This evening I went out owling. I dipped on my main target, Northern Saw-whet Owl, but I did pick up one new owl for the year.

117. Eastern Screech Owl
