Concur. Getting over 150 takes a lot of work even for a good coastal count.

In a recent post David Irons gave accolades to such as Jeff Gilligan and Tim
Rodenkirk for bringing passion and a resultant higher species count at the
Sauvie Island and Coos Bay CBC's respectively. Someone needs to add Dawn
Harris to the list for her work with the Yaquina Bay CBC. Before she became
the compiler of that count 120 species would have been considered a good
count. Now it would be considered poor In 2015 that count topped the state
with 152 species. This year, with less than ideal pre-count weather, it the
total came to 138. A lot of this success goes to Dawn's organization. And I
speak from experience. Back in the 1990.s I organized and compiled a CBC for
Waldport, I once served as compiler for the Yaquina Bay CBC, and three years
as compiler for Gilliam County. It takes a lot of work and enthusiasm. Dawn
seems to have both. So hats off to her.
