Very cool.   To me, the 17 species of flycatchers is waaay more impressive than 
the 32 warbler species tallied.    Man, that's a LOT of primary projections to 
look at!

Well, I can supply an answer to the 3rd question.
On 26 April 2006 Joel and Vicki Simon, Brush Freeman, and I were on a private 
property in Kenedy County.  We were expecting fallout conditions.
Joel and Vicki were in one oak motte, Brush was in a second, and I was in a 
third.  Collectively. we had 133 species in about four hours.  I would have to 
go back and check the exact totals for the others, but I had 32 species of 
warbler, and 17 species of flycatcher.  The others had similar totals.
Brush had the bird of the day, a Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher.
