IBRC, IBLE, historians, eBirders, other birders, non-listers, et al.,

I haven’t surfed on the IBRC web site to determine whether this kind of information is included therein, but it seems to me there should be inclusion of “historical perspective” like this, re: DATA!! showing how far we’ve come in documenting the occurrence of birds in Idaho (eBird is now showing that 433 species have occurred in the state).

Attached is one of Chuck Trost’s state year lists, this one for 1993, that he kindly gave me permission to copy and share. And maybe there are older checklists out there somewhere in someone’s library or on their computer that might also be of interest to us ?

Until fall migration ramps up, my mind is wandering beyond our backyard bird feeders…. eh?
