["Harry & Melitta Glasgow" <aglasgow@xxxxxxx>]

Numbers were down this morning, but birders were up.  We hosted 20 birders on 
this Federal holiday, but were able to only tally 41 species.  Highlights were 
the Monday Morning Group's first Brown Creeper of the season.  Other notables 
were several Ruby-crowned Kinglets, a Magnolia warbler, a Blue Throated Green 
warbler, and  Palm warblers, but not as many as last week.  Many thanks to 
Stuart and Pam Davis for doing the tally as I had to leave early.
