[Birdtalk] A fun little game: The NEXT 10

[Tim Avery]

So a while back, several years I thin Mark started a little game to guess what
the next 10 species of bird recorded in Utah would be.  (at least I think it
was Mark).  I have been trying to find the post, without luck to see what some
of the responses were, but can't find it.  Birds like Neotropic Cormorant,
Gilded Flicker, etc, were some of the birds listed.  In any event, as I sit
here this afternoon, not birding (I know, whats going on), I decided it would
be a good time to stir this pot up again!

So below is my list of the predicted NEXT 10 SPECIES for Utah... Everyone is
welcome to join in and post their own lists as well!  Let's see what some of
the predictions are!

 1. Red-necked Stint
 2. Great Black-backed Gull
 3. Arctic Tern
 4. Allen's Hummingbird
 5. Tropical or Couch's Kingbird
 6. Chihuahuan Raven
 7. Sprague's Pipit
 8. Black-throated Green Warbler
 9. Red-faced Warbler
 10. Hepatic Tanager

The only rules are, the bird isn't on the current checklist (or being reviewed
by the records committee currently).  And no particular order is needed unless
you want to be extremely adventurous!  It will be interesting looking back in a
few years to see how these lists worked out!

I look forward to others lists!

Cheers
