I’m enjoying your posts. Good luck with the count! I wonder if you have set yourself a target. Is there a record you are looking to beat?
Thanks, Carl!
I have set a goal of seeing 500+ species. I am not sure if there is an official record for Canada, but as I discover that type of information I will post it to my blog.
Hey Matt,
As far as I know the record stands at 433 – not entirely sure where i know this from though! The Fur&Feathers guys got 431 last year, and another site says 424 may have been the previous record… 500 is an ambitious goal!
Hey David,
Thanks for the info, much appreciated!
Better get out to BC soon! The Sage Thrashers are thrashing, and the Willy Saps and sucking their last sips of sap before slipping into a secretive summer of post-nesting obscurity!
Doing Awesome Matt! Julie and I are rooting for you to hit 500! Keep up the awesome posts!
Glad to see things are going well. Keep it up!
For those interested, it seems that the apparent Canada record is 444–set by Michael Bentley in 1999. This does not include splits since that year.
