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that is a bit out of date.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!
