VA Birders,
As I've already gotten a question from someone about whether the
Barnacle Goose is "countable", I figured I should send out a global
response. VARCOM's determinations are not intended to rule on whether a
bird is "countable" for listing purposes. It is up to the individual to
decide whether or not to count a bird on his/her lists. If a birder
wants his/her lists to be consistent with ABA listing rules, it would be
up to the ABA (rather than VARCOM) to determine whether birds accepted
in Category 3 in Virginia are "countable" under their rules.
