Maine Hit List

#T4P



Current ABA list list: 564
Last one seen: Aplomado Falcon 3/4/15 Code3

I will be visiting the north east coast of America soon and get to relax, eat some shellfish, probably get seasick on a boat, and of course see some #lifebirds.  #Bigyear2015 begins


Lifers needed:
  • Atlantic Puffin, code 1, Seal Island NWR boat trip
  • Black Guillemot, code 1, 
  • Common Eider, code 1,
  • Razorbill, code 1
  • Artic Tern, code 1
  • Red-billed Tropic Bird, code 3, Wow--11 years running at the same cove
  • Roseate Tern, code 2, tougher than Artic to ID
  • Ruff Grouse, code 1, in Ohio too, still never seen
  • Parasitic Jaeger, code 1, only seen Pomarine Jgr so far
  • Nelson's Sparrow, code 1, found a good location
  • Saltmarsh Sparrow, code 1, will be with Nelson's


Year Birds:
 Have not started a year list so far, but I have my Texas list and #24hrs of Birding list, so I think I can still make one for the year, maybe vacation time I will. I'll do a trip list for Maine

Goals:
50 birds for the trip
6 life birds; puts me at an even #570 ABA

Next up:  Dirigo!!  The state motto of Maine is Dirigo (Latin for "I Direct" or "I Lead")

1st time in Maine, 1978 August
