2015-05-10 Thread Rob Jett
Yesterday Heydi Lopes, Keir Randall, Shane Blodgett and I teamed up for a "Big Day" in Kings County. A paucity of land birds combined with fog, cloud cover, east winds and cooler temperatures made for the worst final total that I've ever experienced for a big spring day. My best guess for all
