[cobirds] Today's RBA

Today's RBA has to be the "mother" of all RBA's, perhaps in its history.  This set of birds would be the envy on any state in the U.S.  This seems like an appropriate time to thank its compiler JOYCE TAKAMINE, and all the other folks who have done this largely thankless job over the years, including some of the early, long-stint compilers like Lynn Willcockson, David Martin, and Duane Nelson.  As birders, we are lucky to live in Colorado.  Where else would you have a shot at seeing a ptarmigan, a rare eastern warbler, a Zone-tailed Hawk, and a Painted Bunting in the same weekend?!
