My list of birds since taking up the hobby.

Nice one G-wiz,
Got to say, it just seems so strange to see "emu" on the list!
My humble year list got a little bigger today. I went to a grocery store this morning and went to the lake nearby to do a little birding, and saw 3 species for the first time this year, an American Coot, about 8 Ring-necked Ducks and 4 Hooded Mergansers. Those Hooded Mergansers were the best ones. I haven't seen them since April 2001. The 2001 mergansers were my first ever.
I assume that the UK birders have heard of Hooded Mergansers, right? I suppose it's the closest thing we have to a Smew.
