Another banner year, with 62 species, including one new one!
Thanks, everybody.
Below is the list for 2016, with my comments on the rarer ones.
126 species since 1988. Anybody want to guess the next species for the list?
I wouldn’t be surprised to see these: Common Raven, Black-billed Cuckoo (we saw Yellow-billed in 2010),
Prairie Warbler.
