I haven't sent out any reports lately, but I have been going every week as
always. Things were fairly quiet throughout July, August, and the 1st week of
September 1997. Here's a compilation of sightings, just so you can see what
we've been seeing. Many more Wood Duck than in most years, while fewer
Gadwall and Vaux's Swift.
