The good news is that we have 242 species after five months, which is 93% of what we found all last year. We are doing a bit later than last year, but not much. We have some nice finds, but we have fallen behind on shorebirds and waders, at all of which we have good or better chances ahead of us. Please see the new totals and more details at http://www.columbusaudubon.org/production/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=777&Itemid=238 and let me know if I missed anything, then keep us informed as you find new species for the year, ESPECIALLY in wetlands. Good birds, Bill Whan Columbus ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
