I would also like to thank Janet Shields and all the others who put on an excellent conference. I ended up with 96 Kent County birds and 51 Queen Anne's County birds for a total of 100 overall species for the weekend. The top bird honors goes to an Eastern Meadowlark at Chino Farms. Seeing how excited Doug Gill got when we found this uncommon Chino bird was special. Two of us also had a Dickcissel at Chino but it didn't cooperate for the group.
Some of my Kent County highlights were Northern Bobwhite, Cattle Egret, Black-crowned Night-Heron, Virginia R ail, Chuck-wills-widow, Whip-poor-will, Black-and-white-Warbler , and Summer Tanager.
This Kent County list would have been much smaller if not for the expertise of Walter Ellison and Nancy Martin. Only the first location is listed for each bird.
