Don & Marilyn,
I'm with the two of you. I think that 10 years worth of data
would be the rock bottom minimum!
The numbers of R c Kinglets seemed to be normal this winter
throughout the state of Florida. The numbers of G c Kinglets
this winter has been unprecedented, with many, many times the
usual numbers of birds in North Florida, & many much farther
south in the state than I can remember. In fact we had 2 of
them on the Zellwood Xmas Count near Orlando.
