This is a MUCH different count result from the 1970s, when I was accompanying Ralph and Fernande Silver or Donald Gillaspey on the counts. We were lucky to have 40 species. It's pretty clear that the count circle must now include Little River near Leon, based on the waterfowl results. And thus it excludes some state line areas that were likely to have a couple Mockingbirds and Short-Eared Owls.
