Dan, I'm sorry but didn't anyone tell you? We don't allow people from Ohio or people who get more birds on their year list than we do to come to our meetings :) Thirty-seven sounds like a pretty good number of species considering the weather conditions you guys were having yesterday. Our group managed to get only fifty-seven species for the Breaks CBC yesterday, and we had decent weather. Every team agreed that for some reason it was difficult to find birds. We missed several species that we feel we should have had. I will be posting a species list in the next couple of days. The rest of the bird club members from down here want to wish you and Jan a great Christmas and lots of great birds for next year.

My very best to you all and please let Sheldon know that I've been thinking of him. Have a great holiday. By the way, we had our Adams County count yesterday and the weather was only fitting for waterfowl and possibly Artic species. However, we did get around 37 species despite the very poor weather. The highlights were Red Breasted Nuthatch, a flock of Horned Larks and approx. 99 turkeys.

Remember that each person is to bring a small, bird related gift costing no more than $5.00 to exchange. On another note, Sheldon Woods is now home from the hospital and doing well. He hopes to be able to come to the dinner tomorrow, but he will have to wait and see how he feels then. He and Orpha and Johnnie and Betty Ratliff participated in the Breaks Christmas Bird Count yesterday by counting birds at their home feeders, since they live within the count circle. That is much appreciated. I hope to see you at the restaurant, Roger Mayhorn Compton Mt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The best games are on Xbox 360.
