So this is the first year I am keeping a list of every bird identified for the year. To date, I’m at 72. It feels like I should be further along than that, but maybe not. I would be curious to hear from you in the comments below. Are you keeping a list? What is your number so far for 2017? What type of information do you keep on your list?
I don’t keep an annual list though I have thought of trying it sometime. But I do have a life list. I have a spreadsheet that lists alphabetically the name, species, date and location seen and if it was a rare sighting for the area. My life list is now at 382. 😁
This is my 1st year list. I think it will likely turn into a life list.
I think I will make one now 😄 I know I love finding new ones and I never thought I’d ever end up enjoying birding so much!
I didn’t believe I would like it either, but now I’m hooked.
My year list is in WordPress already as a scheduled post. I update it as I see new birds and it will automatically post at 11:59pm on 12/31/2017. I would like to get to 100 this year that sounds like a good number.
Like the idea!!
