Greetings All:

It is coming down to the wire and things are a lot closer than anybody 
predicted.

At the end of November we were tied at 296 (Rich discovered another species 
that he had forgotten to put on his list way back when).

Since then Kostecke has added Pyrrhuloxia and Purple Finch to his 
Austin-centered region, bringing him up to 298.

Since then Hewetson has added Le Conte's Sparrow, Short-eared Owl, and Dunlin 
(of all things) to his Lubbock-centered region, bringing him up to - drum roll, 
please - 299.

The two of us have entered into a gentleman's agreement that we will only throw 
three more full days of birding into our regions as one of us has only three 
free days available and the other didn't want to win by virtue of being able to 
bird sixteen hours a day for the next eight days:)

Anthony 'Fat Tony' Hewetson; Lubbock
