Last year I was contacted by a birder from France. He wanted to see all the
birds ever found in Europe including the spillovers from the Americas.
Frederic had a target list of 5 birds: Tundra Swan, Black Scoter, Harlequin
Duck, Varied Thrush, and 1 more I've forgotten. We were able to get great
looks at all his most wanted list and many more in a fine day of birding. I
thought at the time it was a most puzzling way to compile a list.
