[va-richmond-general] An immodest proposal

Which does not require the ingestion of children.

 

You all are amazingly good at reporting FOS and FOY dates.  What about
reporting LOS (Last of year dates) which to some are equally
interesting.  It might mean you might have to keep looking for migrants
into early June or so, but I believe you are up to it.  Back in the 30's
when they were reporting dates to the biological survey, they included
first dates, last dates, and dates when birds became common.  And there
weren't that many bird watchers then.  I still have Purple Finches,
Chipping Sparrows (certain migrants as they don't nest in my yard) as
well as the usual Juncos and White-throats.
