Even the ferns were taller than me! My 18mm lens still couldn't get the treetops in frame. (Apologies if the file size is large - I am not entirely sure how to check file sizes and how to compress photos on an iPad.)

138. Hoary-headed Grebe

145. Richard's Pipit
All seen during gale-force winds at the Western Treatment Plant over the weekend. The site list was only about 55 species though, since a lot of the usuals weren't around (like black shouldered kite, whistling kite, all the ducks bar shelducks). However, it was a tern-fiesta, with terns in their thousands. Others reported seeing 7 different species of terns, but I could only recognise 2.

nice list! a lot of birds I have never heard of, that are very nice and a lot of species I am very familiar with as an European 
My list is still the same, and birds I will not "win", but for mammals and the reptiles/amphibians I will
with a countdown for Madagascar: 20 days till departure from now! And I just heared that the St. Louis Zoo is funding a large part of my research

with a countdown for Madagascar: 20 days till departure from now! And I just heared that the St. Louis Zoo is funding a large part of my research
there's lots of "European" birds I am really happy about seeing, like gadwall, wren, goldcrest. I find them really exciting.nice list! a lot of birds I have never heard of, that are very nice and a lot of species I am very familiar with as an European
My list is still the same, and birds I will not "win", but for mammals and the reptiles/amphibians I will
For mammals it looks like the current totals are:
Ituri -- 30
Chlidonias -- 35
lintworm -- 41
Hix -- 48
I think lintworm may well win on mammals, although I will still be chugging away at them too.
Madagascar will be fantastic!!
I somehow managed to list Barn Swallow twice, so my count is actually 310 up to this point.
