Yes, these are most likely outdated rules, also, I'm surprised by the inclusion of the field guide. I've never seen national rules allow both a field guide and binder thats a lot of things

Most field guides aren't that good info wise so they are probably just gonna be used for identification

For the last bird on the list, "European Starling Sternus vulgaris" online it is called StUrnus vulgaris. Which one are you guys putting in your binders?
Thanks

Its supposed to be the second; there was a rules clarification about that.

Do any of yall know if the "Unmodified and unannotated field guide" means that we cannot write inside of it? If we have handwritten notes in the field guide does that mean that it's considered modified?

"unmodified and unannotated" refers to the National or State Bird List that can be removed from the binder. There is no restriction in the rules on annotating the Field Guide. You can have a modified and annotated Bird list as long as it remains in the binder.

Does anyone have an estimate of the number of birds on the National Bird List? I know for herpetology there were around 100 or so, but looking at the bird list, it seems like a lot more.

I just counted and I'm pretty sure it's 159 birds. Correct me if I'm wrong...
