60. I can't wait for shorebird migration
For the first time in 2 years I am living somewhere with good migrant traps, and boy oh boy, am I gonna chase some rarities (and find some rarities) this fall and winter. I want to get to 600 this year, and I should add about 5 on my trip to Arizona this August, but that leaves 11 more to "get".

I'm really not sure where they're going to come from. :shrug:
