About that unofficial count info, I've gotten a bit more information.
The White-winged Crossbill report has been reluctantly withdrawn.
Although Linda thinks they sounded more like White-winged Crossbills
than like the numerous Common Redpolls in the area, she wasn't able
to get any visual confirmation, and isn't 100% sure. Too bad.
The Iceland Gull find should be credited to Dave Nicosia, who pointed
it out to Gary Kohlenberg and Susan Danskin, who told Ken Rosenberg,
who still can't understand how he missed it.
The single Ruby-crowned Kinglet which I heard reported at the tally
(I have zeros marked for all sectors except #2) has now been attributed
to Bob McGuire, who said he heard but did not see one on Sheldon Road
in his Sector 2, AND also attributed by Annette Nadeau to Asher Hockett
at an unknown location but presumably in his sector which I think was #4,
AND also attributed by Elaina McCartney to Scott Sutcliffe at the Hog Hole
in Sector 7. I think we have a communication problem here, or a memory
problem, or perhaps several. That's why those results were unofficial...
Would Asher or Scott or Bill Baker (Sector 7 leader) mind double-checking
and getting back to me? If there were 2 or 3 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, that's
wonderful, and Kevin McGowan should be told, if he doesn't know already.
If more than one party found a species on the CBC I don't need to know
who found it or where, I just credit the Ithaca CBC generally for finder
and
location in my list of first finds of the year in the Cayuga Lake Basin,
but
I would like to know whether the number was zero, or one, or more.
I'd also like to know if I screwed up. Thanks for your patience.
