Jeff,
Are you updating the BD database with the checklist changes posted here?
How often will you do this?
Yes Pete. I update the master BD database that goes out with fresh installs with these updates. However, existing users have to logon and get these updates manually from time-to-time.
Periodically, I will post consolidated World-wide updates to the downloads page making it easier to get caught up all in one download/import.
I am in the process of checking each "official" State/Province checklist on the internet with the database in Guide to Birds of North America CD-ROM. I expect to have 1-20 changes for each state and province by the time I am done. Do you really want 73 posts to this web site? 
Most definitely!  And thanks!
Will these changes be included in a future database update so others do not have to download 73 files?
Yes - as I stated above, I will periodically make consolidated updates available in one import file.
However, by you posting several different (e.g. statewide) imports, it makes it easier for folks in each area of expertise to comment and review on them as you make them available. Thanks sooo much!
