I know that the 1995 A+R list was three pages, last year's list was two, and this years list was one.
So my guess is that thier going to cut at least parts of the 1998's bird list out, but its still a really good starting point.

My advice would be: start birdwatching / getting used to the sounds around your neighborhood, go to the library, and start memorizing the ids you think are going to be on this years list.
