NJO contributor Tom Reed has now seen 343 different species of birds in the state of New Jersey since January 1st, 2011. This is already 6 more than the previous record, set in 2002, but only 1 more than the number currently seen by another 2011 lister. That means Tom has to keep searching for the next three months – the competition doesn’t end until the clock strikes midnight on December 31st.
