Paul,

I'm only 20 birds away from surpassing the record of 347, and he's rooting
for me! Of the remaining "regular" birds, the most likely 12 left are in
this approximate order (new state birds in italics):

LeConte's Sparrow
Rufous Hummingbird
Townsend's Warbler
MacGillivray's Warbler
Sabine's Gull
Sprague's Pipit
*Calliope Hummingbird*
Nelson's Sparrow
Cassin's Vireo
*Dusky Flycatcher*
Hammond's Flycatcher
Red-naped Sapsucker.

I have plans to be in the right places at the right time for all of these.

If I can pick up those 12, that leaves 8 more from this pool: *Great
Black-backed Gull*, Laughing Gull, Jaeger sp., *Gray Flycatcher*,
post-breeding wanderers (White Ibis, Yellow-crowned Night Heron, etc), *Black
Duck* (which seems very hard these days) and winter irruptive species (*Snowy
Owl, Cassin's Finch, Bohemian Waxwing*, Pine Grosbeak,* Evening Grosbeak,
Mountain Chickadee*)

And besides those there are still plenty of other "casual" visitors
possible: Pine Warbler, *Black-legged Kittiwake, Red Phalarope* and more.
So, we'll just have to see how things shake out, but I'm pretty optimistic.
