Tony,
I wouldn't mind a copy of the checklist (the one which gives approximate numbers of the waterfowl) if you have time to send it. debbiepledge@hotmail.com
Thanks!
Debbie
I will see what I can do.

These areas are ones that nearly always seem to have wintering birds. It is always worth checking out these areas, or ones that have a large amount of Mahonia(the border by Hanover playground is another regular site.)
