appeared at this am at 9:20am just as I was leaving Sherwood Platform. I had to be somewhere at 10 so needed to put blinders on as I dashed out to my car. Luckily, the bird walk beginners were enthralled by the Great Blue herons, the cardinals, the catbird nest saga (a story for another time),

Hi Kevin, Interestingly the wining recreational team, I forget the name, had 120 species. The wining competitive team, with 118, species was Bob Span's team. Bob Span was also honored for 15 years of Muckrace participation. This is a wonderful commitment to local conservation.
