I want to thank everyone for their effort this year.  

We had our first ever SORA on this years count.  We had 1176 Robins which beat 
the old number of 837.  Total species was down this year to 80.  That was the 
lowest since 1996.
This first time I posted the list, it did not come out very readable.  So I am 
re-posting it below, cut and pasted from notepad.

Thanks again.
