2014 NYC Year List

I have made a year list and it went well. I have 146 species and only 11 were seen outside New York County. Consider the fact that I have hardly ever birded in Brooklyn and Queens at all this year and this looks really impressive. This is more than any other year I've birded. Like most year lists, rarities helped me get to this milestone ( Red-Necked Grebe, Yellow-Crowned Night Heron, Red-Headed Woodpecker).

Anyway, here is my Year List
