Hi All,
Super Congrats to Jim Hanna who just went over 19,000 eBird lifetime complete checklists for Georgia! Amazingly Jim is on a track to reach 20,000 by the end of the year!
The next three Georgia birders who have the most all-time Georgia eBird complete checklists are James Gibson, James White, and Kathy Miller, who are all sitting basically somewhere within 535 checklists of each other right now, at over 14,000 eBird lifetime complete checklists for Georgia!
