Well, I sent this a few days ago but I put the wrong address in...so someone
somewhere is wondering why I sent them bird lists. Gotta love this medium.
Anyways, here's my belated bird reports from last week (p.s. if anyone's
interested in birding somewhere let me know as I'm without car...long story
which I can relate on the way):
