Waikato Total Ticks
ebird "County" life lists from *12* Waikato districts added together. *Note that while the southern Franklin District no longer exists politically (absorbed into Waikato & Hauraki districts), ebird still records it using the old borders--roughly (even though it has updated the larger borders of Hauraki & Waikato). This means that there is overlap of some 'county' lists (e.g. Miranda counts for both Franklin and Hauraki), but to avoid confusion we will accept both (following ebird) for the purposes of this list.
