If there are no AOU splits that pertain to Colorado this summer, then the Colorado State List is still at 498 species (with nothing new reported in the state this year, as far as I know). It will be interesting to see what the next two new bird species that are added to the official Colorado State List, maintained by the CBRC and the CFO. It would be exciting to get Colorado to 500 species (hopefully real species, and not new AOU splits, though I guess we'll take whatever). Are there any AOU Splits for the the ABA Area being announced this summer? August is usually when that happens I think.
Since I've seen all the tern species in Colorado so far, I'm hoping if Elegant Tern or Gull-billed Tern show up, I'm nearby to see them. Both seem more likely to show up, then Sooty Tern and Sandwich Tern, which already have!
