Re: [cobirds] Re: Eastern Larimer 8/25 and County Additions

On the topic of county lists, I'm somewhat at a loss as to where to encounter definitive totals of species recorded in the various counties (understanding that for rarities some are awaiting review). There is the county birding resource offered on the CFO page, but I can't tell how up to date it is for the various counties (I see holes for the counties I am most familiar with), and the CBRC process of county level review is very confusing to me. Neither of these seem to be (closely) linked to eBird review status of records for a given species in a county for species that are not significant rarities. Are county species lists closely kept up? By who? Are local county birders of knowledge and experience in some places further ahead on this than other authorities? What about counties that more or less have no local county birders?

Curious,

Cobirders,

I thoroughly enjoyed the post by Andy regarding the "official" Larimer County species list.  In this age of "if it isn't in eBird it does not exist" it is refreshing to see that there is still interest in the rich ornithological history in Colorado.  Hopefully, others will note the various sources that are mentioned and take time to explore the data as Andy and others have done.

While he may be counting some of his proverbial chickens before they hatch, it appears that the Larmier total may be moving upward.  Although, there is a bit of a black hole with the Committee when it comes to county records approvals and updates so Pueblo will continue to reign for the time being.

Good Birding,
