Marshall's post reminded me to do another update. Actually, we are doing quite well, picking up an additional six species over the last two weeks. Pomarine Jaeger Miller and Stasz 9/8 Pt. Lookout Sooty Tern Rambo 9/16 Pax Leach's SP ? Long-tailed Jaeger Patteson 9/19 Off OC Manx Shearwater Reported to Marshall ? OC Bicknell's Thrush Hershberger Frederick That almost made up for the lost pelagic. Sightings of YH Blackbird and Bridled Tern had already been reported. This gives us 323 of 414 (genus only not counted) and 78% of our list!!! Mississippi still stands at 299 or 75.7%, but I think that is a bit out of date. Mind you, we are still collectively short of the all time big year record (by an individual, mind you), which, if I recall correctly is Paul O'Brien's 326. Excellent birding folks!
