I received a few emails that the link to the PDF wasn't working.  Here's a
shortened URL that should take you to the cheat sheet.

PDF:  http://bit.ly/HoH2dE

Once you follow the link, click the button to download the PDF.  Also, my
email should have read "... print out a small copy of the PDF linked
above..." not "below".

Good birding,
Paul
