I've been inspired by Bill, Bob, Jim, John and others. How about the same 10
species in all 254 Counties. We could call it the insanity club ;-)

Subject: [texbirds] Congrats to Bill Wright and an idea for a new type of
"Texas Species Century Club"
Texbirders:
Congrats to Bill Wright in reaching his target of 100 birds in 100 counties! I
had a proposal for a different sort of Texas Century Club challenge that
birders may want to try to undertake. The goal would be to see the same 100
species of birds in at least 100 of Texas's 254 counties.
You would try to see....1) Turkey Vulture in 100 different Texas
counties;..............2) Black Vulture in 100 different Texas counties--need
not necessarily be seen in the same 100 counties as where you saw the Turkey
Vultures;.....3) Northern Mockingbird; .... Etc...................Could be lots
of fun! It also might extend ebird data coverage for some species into some new
lesser-birded counties. You could choose whichever 100 species you wanted to
chase and change the list of species as you went as long as you ended up with
100 different Texas county sightings for each of 100 species chosen.
