Forgot to include species total for day: 84

And as part of the thread re birder etiquette/recordings.: I too have been frustrated how often I see birders & even some photographers playing birdsong phone apps on the Magee Boardwalk (& other places).

I'm actually surprised it isn't posted at the Magee Boardwalk entrances (prohibiting tape playing) given the volume of traffic. Beginning birders, especially, may not know playing tapes/phone apps is a bad thing & that it is stressful to the birds. 

In AZ, places like Cave Creek in the Chiricahuas, are clearly posted that no song playback is allowed (or song imitation so that vocalizing a screech-owl call is also prohibited).

I was also glad the volunteer at CVNP who led the Woodcock walk in April reminded everyone that no birdsong playback is allowed in CVNP or other NPs.
