[cobirds] #500 for Colorado

Hello, Birders.

Arizona birder Kurt Radamaker sent me an interesting email. With his permission I am forwarding along his message to COBirds.

======================================

Hi Ted,

 

I was reading COBIRDS and saw the discussion on Colorado's 500th species for a state "landlocked" without an international border.

 

Just for kicks I did a database comparison of all landlocked states that border Colorado for birds recorded in those states that have not been recorded in Colorado.

 

I can't say my database of state lists is one hundred percent accurate, but most of the species I checked manually were correct. E.g. I thought no way has Wyoming had a Streaked Shearwater, but it does, a specimen from June 2006!  

 

Feel free to share this list, if you are so inclined.

 

I think you are over due for a Heermann's Gull!
