Ruth and Tweeters:

I don't know off the top of my head of any birders who have a "mounting"
list though we comment occasionally about getting a new species on our
"shit" list. The best species on my "mounting" list would be American
Kestrel. This week I saw two starlings in the act and wished I could have
driven over them, sort of an auto-coitus interruptus.
