Just to let folks know that I've been persuaded to collect another yearly checklist for Franklin County. As of today, mid-point in the month, we had 107 species recorded, including one we missed last year. As before I will, if you can stand it, update the list monthly through the year. If you find something new or interesting, please post it here or on eBird or let me know directly. Last year we found 259 species here.
