Although 2016 brought about an
unexpected lifestyle change, 2017 should be more predictable. I will again
spend a combined 2 months in California, will have a trip to the UK in the
summer and will go to Chicago for a few days in August. Based on this I will
set my world goal at 400 species.
For this I need to set an ABA goal
of 350 species although I failed on this in both 2015 and 2016. I need to be
more conservative with my Arizona target and will set this at 225. For
California I can hope to reach 175.
I have learned that 150 Coconino
county birds is achievable and will aim for this target again. I wiull also use the same number for Santa Clara county,
although this may be a bit optimistic.
Lifers will be hard to come by. My
best bets are Red-masked Parakeet, Mountain Quail and Bell’s Sparrow.
