The trip list was 106, about what I expected. Of these six were new for the USA, and five were new world ticks. It was all about America though, and these six took me to 593. A notable milestone is just around the corner...How people do yearlists of 700+ is beyond me, I feel like I've been birding in America for most of my adult life and am still shy of 600! (or was at the end of this trip at any rate, come back soon for an update.....surprise!)
Had the conditions been good for seawatching I might have added another five that first morning - this remains the largest gap for me. One day I need to go on a pelagic, it could propel me to new heights.
