Gotta keep better records

Saw 2 Ruby-throated Hummingbirds this morning, taking my year list to 161. I actually saw my first several weeks ago but forgot to record it.

I really must be more careful with my records. I recently realized that my US life list was 411 instead of the 397 I'd thought I'd reached.

Ooops! Noticed the posts here are for residencial lists and 'not' total annual lists. Sorry folks will refrain from further postings. Must be an age thing!

 

[JeffMoh]

Not at all

I'm not sure where you got the residential idea from, but the lists I've read are for all birds seen anywhere this year. So keep on posting!

First one of the year heard, and seen, flying over the Market Place. I must have looked a right divvy as there's me shading my eyes against the bright sun and looking heavenwards and everybody else is sitting around outside the cafes :-O The joys of being a birder in modern society
