[reccom] Updated 2009 Utah Checklist

[Terry Sadler]

Tremendous work Rick and Milt!

I can only see two possible recommendations:  I don't know if we have 
enough records for the Blue-headed Vireo and the LeConte's Thrasher to 
be listed as as Occasional.    Might they better be classified as as 
Accidental?    Either way is fine though.

Thanks for the effort you have put into updating the Checklist.
