Hi Folks,
Well now that it is 2006, I went through my list tonight. You may
remember that last December I announced I was going to do a single
county big year. (for those who are not crazy listers, that is when
one tries to find as many species in a given time and location as
possible).
I did very well through the end of May, but then got to busy to go
hunt the real rarities. So I only ended up with one rare bird (A
Brewer's Blackbird at Kyker Bottoms WMA). But 191 species is not
shabby, with a land-locked county, hardly any marsh, etc. And there
were a number of birds others had that I missed. We intend to
compile our cumulative list sometime soon.
Below is the list.
