Corey’s New York State 2007 Year List
This is my year list for birding New York State in 2007. I decided in June, after having had a pretty good run of rarities, to shoot for the elusive 300 mark. Not the best of ideas but having a goal forces me out birding more and that’s not a bad thing, right? Links are to 10,000 Birds posts featuring a picture of the bird or a description of my finding it. One star means the bird was a first in New York for me and two stars denote a lifer. At the end of the list are some birds I’ve missed that sometimes give me the Big Year Blues.
