With her Solitary Snipe Nicole officially catches up with Neil Hayward at 749. She's still on St. Paul, I believe.
<<EDIT>> Nicole is leaving St. Paul, but with 750! She picked up Common Rosefinch.
Dan got Blue-footed Booby and Sharp-tailed Sandpiper. he has a number of easy birds to clean up out west, so he should be pushing 700 before too long. Then it gets stickier in the Lower 48.
I've been working on a separate Excel chart for the Lower 48. Chris Hitt and Dan are on it, of course, and Olaf and John went digging through their 2016 files to come up with solid lists. Olaf is at 723 and John at 721. Christian is just over 700 but we're trying to finalize it. We'll see if Yve and/or the Stolls hit 700 last year in the Lower 48. The Deans did not, and neither did Laura Keene in 2016 (they've checked).
