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.
