Oops!  Sorry to take a species away from the Durham CBC, but I didn't 
have any Evening Grosbeaks.  I double-checked my form and found I made 
a simple transcription error -- these 27 birds were supposed to go on 
the next line up on the form, American Goldfinch.  I didn't find any 
other errors.  I don't think I've seen a single 'winter' finch this 
season so far.  The GBB Gulls were long overdue for the Durham count - 
they've been seen every year on the adjacent Falls Lake CBC.
