So far I'm up to 12:15 UK time, i.e. just before the end of page 2, at which point I think we were 96 worldwide of which 48 UK. I've done a bit of removing of duplicates as I went along, but will have missed others. Also we usually accept UK names for the UK list but use IOC names for the various combined lists; at present I haven't corrected the names in the global list and if anyone fancies editing in sundry uses of "European", "Eurasian", "Common" etc, please feel free. Or else if the spreadsheet isn't set up right and no-one can see it, let me know (and ideally tell me what I did wrong!).

I'm going to slow down for a bit as I have other things to do, but I'l get back to it later.

Spreadsheet is up to date as far as page 3 (post 60). It's been a long day and I need to sleep now.

Global total at that point was 200, with UK 108, rest of Europe 46, USA 51 and significant contributions also from Turkey, Israel and a mystery country (Patudo's records have been added to the global total but I don't know enough about the ranges of those species to identify the country from the list).

[mnmayfly]

It’s night here now in Montana so I think all I have to add for the US is
Prairie Falcon

also saw Pronghorn Antelope, Coyote, Porcupine, Mule deer and Raccoon today

 

[birdmeister]

My, what a quiet showing from US so far! Rain and other obligations kept my list low, but most of my additions are Sonoran Desert specialties.

(Eurasian) Collared-Dove
Harris's Hawk
Gila Woodpecker
Gilded Flicker
*American Kestrel (repeat?)
Cactus Wren
Great-tailed Grackle
Loggerhead Shrike

Not sure about listing rules (as this wouldn't count in eBird/Clements taxonomy), but the Yellow-rumped Warbler I heard today was "Audubon's", likely different from the one listed upthread.
