We had a reasonable number today with 61 bird species and 7 people. Two  
people were from out of town traveling through. The winds got up a little and  
made finding things like Seaside Sparrow hard but we did have Nelson's 
Sparrow  early that did not give us great looks but we did see them. Also had a 
hard time  finding Clapper Rail but did find one. Next count date is March 
19th.
