RE: [cobirds] Van Truan 405 Pueblo County list

Let me try to top that for Van.  Monday I was really pleased to find a Nelson's Sparrow at Ft. De Soto in St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, Florida.   So I checked out the other records for NESP in Pinellas on eBird.  First one?

182         Nelson's Sparrow             1              4 Jan 1973           Van Truan           

 

Now this is a county with a county list of 424 going all the way back to an 1880 record for Brown-headed Nuthatch followed by:

422         Kentucky Warbler            X             6 Apr 1886           Frank Chapman Data

Gee, I wonder what eBird app Frank Chapman used?  Well, I'm not done with Van, right before Nelson's Sparrow is this—

 

183         Northern Pintail                1              3 Jan 1973           Van Truan

Two first county records for Van in Pinellas County, FL.

Hi:

 

That's an amazing, county record for Colorado, an inland state, rivaling some of those west coast county records.

 

Cheers,
