I will be keeping track of the cumulative checklists for both Mason and Grays Harbor counties this year. So please if you bird these counties in 2008, I would love to hear what you find. Both counties are off to great starts with Grays Harbor already over 100 and Mason is around 60.

Last year, here is how both ended the year:

Mason: 170 species out of 252 possible (67.4%)
Grays Harbor: 278 species out of 375 possible (74.1%)

Thank you to everyone that contributed to each county last year. I look forward to another year of keeping track. Also, if anyone is interested in Big Days in either county please let me know and I will help organize.

Good birding,
