The Recreational team with 120 species was Tyrannus tyrannus, with Mickey Scilingo and Marty Mau. They also heard the Whip-poor-will.

The wining competitive team, with 118, species was Bob Span's team. Bob Span was also honored for 15 years of Muckrace participation. This is a wonderful commitment to local conservation.

Ann Mitchell, Susan Danskin, Linda Orkin, Dave Nutter, Gary Kohlenberg, and I took part as a recreational team, sponsored by the Cayuga Bird Club. We found a total of 89 birds. Colleen Richards and Susan Barr were another team sponsored by the club. Some 170-odd birds were found by the collective groups. The winning team had 120 birds. A Sedge Wren was reported (don't know where it was found). Long-eared Owl was reported. Apparently no Virginia Rail or Least Bittern. A Glossy Ibis was reported at Railroad Road, but I have no information on how it was id'd (and was not a White-faced). Overall, the shorebird numbers were extremely low, though a good variety of them were found. Missing, I think, were Buff-breasted, Western Sandpiper, American Golden Plover, Sanderling. The only decent shorebird area we found was the Muckrace Flats, a small area right along Savannah-Spring Lake Road. May's Point Pool still has significant exposes mud, but not a lot of birds.
