Right, good, however, the FOSRC, and the ABA for that matter, should consider the fact that Nanday numbers are getting up there in the east coast, specifically Palm Beach and Broward counties, with increasing numbers in Key Largo. Although numbers are not quite yet like those of central Florida gulf coast (although as Rick said, they get in the hundreds in certain areas), the sightings are just as spread out. This is definitely indicative, in my opinion, of a sustainable population. These observations are available in eBird.
Ideally, birders who are listers should not have to drive to Pasco or Charlotte counties to see a bird that's almost as abundant in the east coast. Just saying.
