Speaking of Big Sits

If anyone should check our (The Turkey Pointers) standings from last year on
Birdwatchersdigest.com's big sit page, I just now noticed an error which I
made in entering our data last year. Obviously, we did not see a
Red-breasted Sapsucker... lol..... We did however see the Yellow-bellied
variety, so at least our total species number is accurate...  I'll try to be
more careful this year!
