Before 2008, my ABA "life list"
was (as near as I can tell) at 730 bird species. I've finally gone back to figure out how many have been added this year.
As of January 23, 2009, I have added 38 species to my ABA list as follows, bringing my probable ABA life list to 768:
New ABA-area birds 1-Pink-footed Goose 2-Barnacle Goose 3-Gray Partridge 4-Himalayan Snowcock 5-Gunnison Sage-Grouse 6-Mountain Quail 7-Black Storm-Petrel 8-Least Storm-Petrel 9-Northern Lapwing 10-Common Ringed-Plover 11-Jack Snipe 12-Yellow-legged Gull 13-Ivory
Gull 14-Black Noddy 15-Dovekie 16-Black Guillemot 17-Xantus's Murrelet 18-Whiskered Auklet 19-Spotted Dove 20-Budgerigar 21-White-winged Parakeet 22-Plain-capped Starthroat 23-White-crested Elaenia 24-Piratic Flycatcher 25-Island Scrub-Jay 26-Sky Lark 27-Gray-headed Chickadee 28-Sinaloa Wren 29-Black-capped
Gnatcatcher 30-Bicknell's
Thrush 31-Aztec Thrush 32-Common Myna (not previously countable) 33-White Wagtail 34-Crescent-chested Warbler 35-Bananaquit 36-Flame-colored Tanager 37-Little Bunting 38-McKay's Bunting
Twenty of the above birds were lifers this
year (never seen before anywhere)
