Howdy All! Quickie Update: Just returned from a Birthday Birding Bonanza this weekend in Colorado. I saw 32 absolutely gorgeous all-white WHITE-TAILED PTARMIGANs at Guanella Pass and a single BROWN-CAPPED ROSY-FINCH in Gunnison to bring the year total to 715!!! I also participated in the Gunnison Christmas Bird Count on Saturday, met some truly friendly birders, and had a wonderful time. Details will follow as usual, Greg Miller Lusby, MD P.S. It was c-c-c-cold. All the residents were complaining how abnormally warm it was. <grin>
