The FINAL List

Bill and Nancy Beard enjoyed four species that no one else did over the weekend. Technical difficulties delayed the reports until today, but we eclipsed 180 after all! Stilt Sandpiper (THANK GOODNESS), Willet, Hudsonia Godwit (THANK GOODNESS), and Least Tern were all great additions! Thanks Beards!! I also accidentally submitted Paul's report of Mourning Warbler as a Kentucky Warbler, which did not make my editing. Thus, the Mourning Warbler never made the previous list until now. 183! WOW!
