You posted Common Merganser as 580, should have been 581. I have corrected the numbering from there forward. Nothing else needs to be done.

My apologies for not removing Rarity Codes -1 and -2 from the "needed" list, but they are species the ABA currently considers escaped or introduced, not naturally occurring in the US or Canada, and not countable. We will restrict this list to codes 1 through 5 (if you get a 6, call CNN, they are thought to be extinct!).

Very nice shot, though.

I just went to the ABA website and tried to download the current checklist, but nothing downloaded. Could you please let me know where I can get a current checklist?

Thanks!

Little Gull (#251) & Laughing Gull (#429) are duplicates. Also noticed Black-headed Gull is listed twice, #'215 & 413. Very jealous of the Ross's & Ivory Gulls! Two of my most wanted!
