I was asking cause I saw how many you had, and wanted to know the exact number. Do you only keep a life list of ones you've photographed?

I'm not terribly formal about my life list, there have been too many lumps and splits since I started to keep track of them all. If I totaled them all my life list would be a few over 500 (or under, who knows for sure?). It's easier to keep notes and to refer to each sighting when I have a photo.
