A special note from Brian O'Toole & Joe Zeranski:

COA’s CT Birder’s Lists is being revised and expanded.  On COA’s web
site the total number of species that a person has recorded in the
state in various categories is posted. 

The expanded list categories are State Lists, State Photographed
Birds, County Lists, Lists for up to three Towns, and Yard Lists.
This new compilation of list totals will replace the existing one on
COA’s web site.  New list totals are to be submitted by interested
birders by April 30.

Submission forms can be found on COA’s web site www.ctbirding.org
under Birder’s Lists.
