My life list is on 10 different sheets of paper in 5 different notebooks scattered around my house. I wish there were an easy, non-cdrom complete world bird list program available. All I want is a list of the 9000 or so species with check boxes, and maybe a place to write some comments, and the dates and places.
My own criteria for whether a bird goes on the list is whether I would recognize it again if I saw it now. Therefore my lifelist should be shrinking as I forget stuff. Would I recognize a tawny ant-pitta today? I doubt it. Or the dozen different hummingbirds and tanagers in Costa Rica, and so on.
