Congrats Brian! Cliff is your latilong book more current than mine? (1998) if so can you check Lesser Goldfinches? My book shows no winter records and I have a...

Michael, I have the same latilong book that you do. The online version is going to be the official database but, as you pointed out, it isn't completed yet....
