The day progressed into being one of those hot sticky days, so congratulations to the fourteen troopers who came out today. When the count was finalized, they were rewarded with 47 species. While the count was similar to other years, a surprising number of new species were added to our summer list. There is a good chance, also, that we are missing another couple of swallow species.
Attached at the bottom you will find several of the wonderful photos that Joan Comito managed to capture. Thank you Joan.
