More Behind the Scenes at GBBC

OK, I'm officially over the moon. Northwest Territories has come in with six checklists. We now have official reports from all the Canadian provinces and territories. Very cool. This hasn't happened since 2000.

Right now the species total is at 577...with many other species known to have been seen this weekend. We should be able to get over 600. Getting over last year's 612 is still an open question.

We really need more Hawaiian reports, and reports of exotic parrots in CA and FL. If you happened to count birds on Laysan Island this past weekend, let me know! We are also missing seabird reports. But, we're rounding them up, so we'll see how many we can get!
