Re: Time for a new list!



Dear Steve,

How many birds did you have on your 2001
list? I had 216 on my SC 2001 list. I know that
Gary Phillips was going for a big total in SC,
although I don't know his final tally, I can
say that his number of 7 AM yesterday
was impressive. I will leave it for Gary
to announce the total.

I would be interested in what other Carolinabirders
tallyed on their year lists.

PS- birding in the snow on a SC Christmas
count yesterday at Huntington Beach,SP
was a first for me, and I have been on SC
Christmas counts since 1979
