Chuck,

We have 405 species in Coos with the recent accepted records of Black Skimmer 
and Guadalupe Murrelet by the OBRC.  I am also incuding Wedge-tailed Shearwater 
seen by Jeff Gilligan this year but not yet accepted by OBRC, so not sure what 
you want to do with that.  I have 405 species in the Coos book which I am 
proofing with the publisher as we speak (round one), it will still be a while 
before I get it done.

Tim
