Hi all. I’ve been keeping my birding life list on a 1990 checklist of North American birds published by the Tucson Audubon. It’s a bit out of date. I’ve tried the E-bird format for life lists but I find it not particularly suited for that function. Any suggestions? Thanks for any suggestions Jim Gaffney
