The all-time record is 260 in Texas on April 19 of 2008  by Behrens, Cox, 
Nosner & Retter.  They drove 856 miles--that is  some extreme birding!  
Beyond Texas there is a record of 231 from  California, 230 from Wisconsin, and 
229 from New Jersey.

These are all State BIG DAYS, I'm  talking about a one day total tic number 
regardless of location where one  could add the most "Tics" to one's lost 
in one day. Where could you go and  travel in any direction, any states and 
get 329 tics on your "Tic List"  in a 24 hour Big Day. Location and driving 
time would be critical. The  100 species in each state was the goal we just 
set for the heck of it that day  and "tics totals" were not thought about but 
a record for total tics  in a day would be an interesting adventure.
 
Anybody have any ideas?
 
Thanks again,
 
Jeff
