I am leaving DU

[XemaSab]

and going to Arizona for a week.

Right now I am at 584.

My targets are Virginia's Warbler, Buff Collared Nightjar, Botteri's Sparrow, Lucifer Hummingbird, Black Capped Gnatcatcher, Short Tailed Hawk, Purple Gallinule, Five Striped Sparrow, Blue Footed Booby, Buff Breasted Flycatcher, Berylline Hummingbird, and Aztec Thrush.

You do the math.

And yes, I will be on many, many happy pelagic trips this fall.

600 is so close I can taste it. :D

[NMMNG]

1. I would so love to visit AZ again

I may get to in the future, but it's not a possibility any time soon.


Do have fun and make sure to take plenty of pics to share. :hug:

2. 584? Pshaw! I'm at 23 million

Of course, I count every single bird...

I had no idea there were Boobys in Arizona - I'd always assumed they were only seen out in the Pacific islands. Good Luck!

[XemaSab]

4. There are boobies at the Salton Sea this week

:D

Blue footed boobies. :D :D

[petronius]

7. So the plural of Booby is Boobies?

Even if the booby is a bird? I wondered about that...

(Man, I hope I get to go see boobies soon...I really like birds.)

:)

[XemaSab]

8. I have only ever seen one booby

It was a brown booby. :D

3. Have a great time....

...try and save your 600th for an expedition to find the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker! :-)

[XemaSab]

6. I am expecting 600 to be a pelagic bird

But you never know. :D

5. by the time you get to Phoenix ...

I'll be waking.

hello lonliness
I feel like I could die ...

[XemaSab]

9. Good morning kick!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

10. Well don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!!

Oh wait, this isn't a melodramatic plea for help "I'm taking my ball and going home" statement?
:evilgrin:
Nevermind! We'll miss ya Xema!! :-) :toast: :hug:

[Ptah]

11. Have fun.
