I want to thank everyone who came on the field trip today.  I enjoyed
meeting the new ones and seeing the repeaters again.

For those who didn't come, we had a beautiful day and the birds were
pretty good, too, although we had a few no-shows like the Lesser
Black-backed Gull, Peregrin Falcon and Black-crowned Night-Heron. Here
is my tally.  Some of the birds I heard but didn't really point out. If
anyone has any to add, let me know.  I came up with 48 species:
