I thought he'd missed 52 Category 1 ABA species by the time he left the States but a significant number of those (maybe 30+) he was likely to catch up with in Europe. The 52 species were (I think):- Mute Swan, Tundra Swan, Common Eider, Long-tailed Duck, Common Goldeneye, Greater Sage-Grouse, Willow Ptarmigan, Rock Ptarmigan, Horned Grebe, Red-necked Grebe, Black-footed Albatross, Northern Fulmar, Cory's Shearwater, Audubon's Shearwater, Northern Gannet, Great Cormorant, Northern Goshawk, Rough-legged Hawk, Purple Sandpiper, Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Red Phalarope, Long-tailed Jaeger, Thick-billed Murre, Razorbill, Black Guillemot, Atlantic Puffin, Horned Puffin, Black-legged Kittiwake, Sabine's Gull, Mew Gull, Glaucous Gull, Arctic Tern, Northern Shrike, Northwestern Crow, Boreal Chickadee, American Pipit, Lapland Longspur, Chestnut-collared Longspur, Snow Bunting, Cape May Warbler, Palm Warbler, American Tree Sparrow, Lark Bunting, Le Conte's Sparrow, Nelson's Sparrow, Saltmarsh Sparrow, Harris's Sparrow, Golden-crowned Sparrow, Rusty Blackbird, Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch, Pine Grosbeak & Common Redpoll.All the best</blockquote>
