Re: Am. Birds CBC issue - errata



Hi Carolinabirders,
	I also noticed the omission Harry mentioned.   As a former compiler of the
Assunpink NJ count and a long time participant in the Sandy Hook and Long
Branch counts as well, I always look forward to reviewing how those counts
did.  I felt very bad for my friends and birding colleagues in N.J. when I
saw this omission. I may very well be participating in the Assunpink count
this year depending on family obligations during the holidays. I'm feel
this omission did not come from the American Birds staff in NYC. The
mistake appears to be a printing problem.
