If you're not a lister, you may wish to pass on these pages. I've just been compiling a list of new species just accepted for the Ohio list---Allen's hummingbird, black-tailed gull, kelp gull, arctic loon, neotropic cormorant, great cormorant, reddish egret, crested caracara, fish crow, Eurasian tree sparrow, Cassin's sparrow, and golden-crowned sparrow. Some years--at least ten--ago, we had a free-for-all discussion here on Ohio Birds in which birders made predictions about which ten species would be added to the Ohio list in time to come. Twenty offered lists. As you'd expect from birders, few followed directions. Those who flouted the rules got the most: Greg Links had 6 of 19, Vic Fazio 6 of 14. Among those who dutifully reported only ten, Ethan Kistler had 3, as did Bernie Master. Others included Su Snyder, Brad Wilkinson, Sean Zadar, Aaron Boone, Bob Foppe, Dave Horn, Haans Petruschke, and John Pogacnik. Here are the species recorded and votes given: fish crow 6, Allen's hummingbird 2, neotropical cormorant 4, black-tailed gull 2, reddish egret 1, golden-crowned sparrow 3, Cassin's sparrow 4, great cormorant 5. I can send the whole list to interested folks. Bill Whan ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
