I have lately been suffering from DHS (Dead Hard drive Syndrome) and
have been unable to send e-mail conveniently. (No important bird data
was lost when the old drive died, and I'm back online and better than
before with a new computer.)
Here's a quick rundown of observations from May 15-27; quite a few
noteworthy species crossed my path--
