Bob,
Do you have rules/guidelines for which birds are countable for these list
totals? It might be helpful to know what the standards are, so that
comparisons of published list totals do not compare "apples with oranges."
For example, should Whooping Crane be included on anyone's list?
Should Barnacle Goose be included on anyone's list?
Should identifiable subspecies (e.g. "Audubon's Warbler") be included on
anyone's list?
Should hybrids (e.g. "Nelson's Gull" or "Sutton's Warbler") be included on
anyone's list?
Should birds that have not been accepted by the WI Records Committee be
countable?
Are there other bird species that should or should not be included in these
totals?
Is it up to the individual birder as to what is counted for their lists?
Thanks,
Tom Schultz
Green Lake Co.
