[TN-Bird] Thanks, Dan & Early Arrivals-Costa Rica

Thanks, Dan.  You are more than generous, but you and Laurie deserve credit 
for taking the water attraction approach far beyond my simple autumn 
"sprinkler in the shrubbery."

In case anyone is interested, we have had some early North American arrivals 
already--see list below.  We are expecting Red-eyed Vireos, Golden-winged 
Warblers, and Black-and-white Warblers any day now.

Spotted Sandpiper....1 August, Tambor Beach, CR
Wood-Pewee (Eastern or Western)....11 August, Guacimal, CR
Rose-breasted Grosbeak [fide Robert Dean]...10 August, Monteverde, CR 
[extremely early]

Dev Joslin
Monteverde, Costa Rica
