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):
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.
