Ain’t that the truth!!  I had 103 in a single day, with 24 lifers, at the San Diego Birding Festival in late February.  Takes me 3 months to get to that number here in my county in MI.  

I’ve had 149 here in one day. I believe it was in mid April.

I'm still at 191 for the year, my college started right after I chased the Brambling, and I haven't managed to get in any significant birding in during the past three weeks, just an hour or two here and there. 

I do have a free day tomorrow though, so I'm going to be chasing the Oriental Turtle-Dove and some other rarities (Tufted Duck, Curlew Sandpiper, Laughing Gull, ect). I haven't been to the coast yet this year, so I should have no problem adding 20+ species to my year list.

Good luck! The dove is another that I really, really want to chase but there’s no time. I feel like all the really big rarities are in central and northern Cali right now.

Got it! It was being really cooperative this morning!

Nice. I'm still stuck in the 190s. I haven't been able to get out since I got the turtle dove two weeks ago. Still haven't been to the ocean despite living twenty minutes away so I'm missing quite a few easy species.

I get the feeling, I was stuck there for several weeks as well after I chased the Brambling. I'm still missing a good group of the easy costal birds as well, the fog rolled in right when I got to the coast and that shut down any sea-watching plans I had.

I’ve only moved up to 139 and not to brag, but I did see both Canada goose and Northern flicker the other day. 

Been slowly adding a few species here and there from going through recordings and photos from Costa Rica, but I don’t think I’ll add anymore than 5 to the total, if that.

I still have yet to actually go out anywhere interesting, but it’s reading week next week so I’m hoping to go to a few spots. ~160 species is probably the maximum I can get to until the end of March.
Last years total was 245 species, so I’m almost exactly 100 away from that. Hoping it’ll be the first year I can crack 300.

Isn't an inland Poorwill in February a mega?

Yes. I totally freaked out this morning. I was actually in the lower Sierras, just out of the foothills. Ebird is showing it as the first for the area by over a month. There was another one seen a few days ago here in Sac. It's been unseasonally warm recently so maybe that has something to do with it.
