I think all these birds "count" according to the American Birding Association.  I've never played by their rules before, so if someone sees something on this list that doesn't count, give me a holler. 

A couple of other birds that I got to see but don't count are:

CALIFORNIA CONDOR 7/15
RED-MASKED PARAKEET 8/22

Had I tried harder, I could have added birds to the San Mateo Green List for the year.  For example, I never saw a Barrow's Goldeneye in the county for 2013, but they do occur here every year.  There are a couple of birds like that.  Maybe in 2015 I'll do a San Mateo County Green Big Year.   As for 2014, I'm taking the year off from listing.  Though I'll certainly keep birding.
