Hi again -

Following up on the previous message, I wanted to pass on word of the
continuation of the combined county year list project for 2008. We've
assembled compilers for 38 of the 39 counties, and are all beginning
to keep track of 'our' counties. In an ideal outcome for this
project, we'd have a complete picture of all the species of birds
seen in every county during a year. Along the way, of course, we
might just have a bit of fun birding and seeing which counties can do
well and which lag behind....

We'd all appreciate help with any birds you may have seen -- in
particular less common birds & birds seen in the less-often-birded
counties. Many of the compilers are keeping track of more
information than just the simple list -- though not collected for
this project, these 'deeper' lists hold a lot of potential for
improving our understanding of the range & abundance of birds in each
county.

Every couple months, I'll post an updated file of the county year
lists at Washington Birder's website [wabirder.com] and pass on word
on these lists.

A list of all the compilers for each county follows, and will also be
posted at the WOS website and the Washington Birder website soon.
