I would amend this to say, you cannot include California Condor on
your official, competitive ABA list (and by extention, your official,
competitive Oregon list, county list etc).
I will proudly put this on every other list I keep, because, let's face
it, it's a condor and we should be free to brag about having seen one.
I am especially looking forward to putting one on my "things I've seen
sitting on a dead whale list" which like most of my lists is not bound
by the strictures of our ABA overlords.
