Hi, Mike et al. Well, I gave it a whirl last night, Thursday, Sept. 3rd, around 9pm Mountain Daylight Time. (Location: Lafayette, eastern Boulder County, Colorado.)
In less than 2 seconds, a passerine flew across the disk of the moon; sweet. But then I had an unexpected complication. The next object to transit the moon was a bat. Then another bat (or the same one). Then a large moth. I should think that, given distant and fleeting views of such animals, there's the potential to over-count birds by accidentally counting bats and moths. Any pearls of wisdom on this one?
