I am echoing Amy about the Texas Ornithological Society's Century Club ...
here's a link to what I think is an old site for the effort:
http://texascenturybirders.org/?page_id=34 The current links on the TOS
web site result in a database error when I try them.
Even though there have been technical difficutlies with the recordkeeping,
I think the concept is cool. A birding friend of mine has achieved the 100
birds in a 100 counties goal but continues to bird on with her county
lists. I doubt she'll rest till she has all 254 counties.
