Hey Carl, yuge congrats! gotta say this makes me LOL thinking back 15 yrs or so about intensely serious listers in S Texas arguing about the precise location of a bird seen (“sighted” in birding lingo) on the Lower Rio Grande, i.e., “was the bird on this side of the middle of the river or was it on the Mexican half of the river?” and discussion/debate would ensue for hours and hours, perhaps days, with many MANY posts to texbirds, on and on. anon!! and if the bird CROSSED The River, then why oh why can’t I count it on both my Mexican and U.S. lists regardless of where I’m standing?” again, LOL
