Hello again, from the Group county year list project -

I wanted to pass on word of the continuation of the combined county
year list project for 2011. We've assembled compilers for all 39
counties, and are have all begun 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, seasonality & 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
[<http://wabirder.com>wabirder.com] and pass on word on these lists.

A list of all the compilers for each county follows, and is also
posted on the Washington Birder website.
