I think that's all I have... I do have some poor photos of an Alder Flycatcher and photos of a Taiga Bean-Goose, but those two birds were ultimately not accepted by the CBRC. Let me know if I should add them or hold off till better individuals come along.

The Cattle Tyrant is still not ABA countable by the latest checklist I have. I have edited the numbering accordingly.

I had just noted before you posted the following Code 2 species from the Needed list in your Macaulay gallery:

King Eider
Lawrence's Goldfinch
Laysan Albatross
Least Storm-Petrel
Long-billed Thrasher
Mangrove Yellow Warbler
Muscovy Duck
Red-footed Booby
Scaly-breasted Munia

You might check them when you get a chance.

Thanks again!

If you are confident in the identification for your own reasons, that's good enough for me.

Lawrence's Goldfinch, Laysan Albatross, Least Storm-Petrel, Long-billed Thrasher, and Red-footed Booby have all been added previously. I do have Mangrove Yellow Warbler and Muscovy Duck, but they're from outside the ABA area. I guess I probably shouldn't add them then?

I thought I had gotten to where the Needs list jibed with the Acquired list. It never ends.

Yes, photos taken outside the ABA area shouldn't be included.

I've been thinking if we could recruit one Hawaiian birder to the forum it could add a lot to the list.

Does anybody remember if the list on the old forum counted Hawaii? I see no reason not to allow it here...I'm just curious.
