Another imminent Colorado birding milestone

[Ted Floyd]

Hey, everybody. As many of us are aware, Colorado's bird list remains officially at 499. Looks like the Boulder Brown Booby may push the list to 500. What can I say?--we all knew #500 would come from Boulder County... :-)

But there's another upcoming field ornithological milestone, one that cannot possibly come from Boulder County. For close to a year, the Coors Field, Denver County, eBird list has been stuck at 29:

What will be #30? Will it be Common Nighthawk? Peregrine Falcon? Red-winged Blackbird? Brown Booby?

September 2, 2008 overtime game vs. the Giants Common Nighthawk.  I am surprised CONI is not on the list.  I have them there a few times, but this is my only recorded date.

Thanks for the info, Ted. I thought that the Colorado list reached 500 with the California condor last year. What happened with that? -- Dave in Longmont

Congrats to Brandon Percival for mentioning Brown Booby in his candidate list for #500, in the recent "50th Anniversary" issue of Colorado Birds!

Be prepared for the Colorado state list to go DOWN by one species at the start of August, if the AOU accepts the proposal to lump Common and Hoary Redpolls into a single species.

...in which case we could have not one but two 500th species! While searching for 500a (Brown Booby), keep looking for 500b ;)

Of course, the official Colorado State List is still at 499, until the CBRC actually votes on a record.  The observer would have to submit a record to the CBRC, and then the 7 members have to vote on it, when it is circulated by the chairmen of the CBRC.  

Maybe the AOU will split something, that helps the Colorado State List, at the same time, they are lumping Redpolls (if they decide to do that).
