It was h= is first time there, so 18 species of warbler was a nice welcome not to m= ention the other birds. I landscaped in the western part of the county f= or a few hours in the middle of the day and realized I could top 100 spec= ies for the day in Howard County. I managed to get 103 in the end as the= thunderstorm rolled in. Thank you Tom for the pied-bill at the end of t= he day. Warblers were thick, ended up with 21 species of 'em.
