Another interesting month in the avian world:) Highlights included PLENTY of shorebird species and PLENTY of warblers, along with some good vagrants like mottled duck and Ross's goose. We have 179 species so far, along with 3 "maybes." Those are birds I think should have been reported, and maybe were, but I couldn't find them when I went back and looked.
