Those who know me know that though I am comfortable on computers, but they
always seem to mess up for me and I'm seldom able to get them fixed. Well,
some years back I had all my bird sightings put into Avisystem and it was
pretty up to date. I even had all my data backed up should something terrible
happen. So when my computer crashed about 4 years ago, I decided it was time
to upgrade to another computer. Unfortunately, none of the new computers had
an "a" drive anymore, so I've been unable to restore all my bird data until
now. I never realized you could get an external "a" drive, but realized my Dad
had one which I just borrowed and finally got all my bird data back. Though it
was easy to remember the rare ones, I was never able to remember many of the
common ones (like Orange-crowned or Blackpoll Warbler as examples).
Anyway, I did not realize that I had surpassed the 200 species mark in my yard
but apparently I did. I now stand at 202 after a Ross' Goose a couple weeks
back, which would make number 201 the Harris's Sparrow I had last winter and
number 200 was the Tufted Titmouse I had in the fall/early winter of 2009.
Disappointed I was never able to officially celebrate reaching the 200 mark.
Perhaps a wine cooler is in order.
