Re: [cobirds] 500th species for the state

Bob, et al,

I agree that it would be a great moment in CO's ornithology. But what if the magical plateau is reached because of one or more splits? No notoriety for an observer, but major rejoicing among those of us who might otherwise benefit!

I haven't checked to see how many other states with similar boundary structures have over 500 species, but there can't be that many. What should we do to celebrate that glorious event? At least the observer should get some degree of notoriety and the 500th species should be covered on some publication. Does any one else have any thoughts on what we should to flag the event? It could be a great moment in Colorado's ornithology.
