If the count you posted on Osprey is final, no need to send the form, but could you e-mail me the hours and miles on foot, and hours and miles by car. Thanks, Steve PS: So far you have the only Bank Swallows in the 15 or so counts I have received. We're up to 148 species, without Hart-Miller yet. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Graff" To: Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 1:10 PM Subject: [MDOSPREY] May Count: Cromwell Valley Park > International Migratory Bird Day "May Count" 5/11/02 > > Location: > 1.
