Hi Ruth and Tweeters,

I agree with you Ruth, about being reluctant to add a bird to my "list". I am not a gungho lister but I really can hardly count a bird I have been told that I have seen that is way out there and I myself cannot make out field marks for whatever reason (usually inexperience). The bird songs might count for the difficult to see birds like Sora, Virg. Rail., some of the warblers, etc.

I also want to say I really enjoy yours and Patricks posts, they are extremely informative and I have learned a lot from them and I know others who like to print out your lists to take on trips with them, which I have done as well.

I have next week off and hope to see the Ancient Murrelets myself.

Happy birding.

Kathy
