Doug Bruce's choropleth map displaying the number of species currently documented at BAMONA for the counties of Tennessee, including all the west Tennessee counties, reveals that there is a three-way tie for the highest species total in the counties west of the Tennessee River. Chester, Decatur, and Shelby counties all have 84 species documented. Only two counties in Tennessee now have fewer than 30 documented species at BAMONA-Weakley with 28 and Carroll with the lowest total in the state at 27. Good 'flyin', Steve Stephen J.
