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.  However, as a percentage of the state/provinces entire bird 
list, the all-time record would have to be 214 in Manitoba on May 31, 2008 with 
a whopping 55% (576 miles).  Second would be Wisconsin at 52.9%.  While birders 
do not keep track of totals over three days, I thank that would be more 
interesting and would come closer to a census of what is available in a 
specific state or province.  In Manitoba 230 or even more might be possible 
in three days.
