Sorry for the late post. Although the end of March would have been better,
for convience sake I broke the Big Day record for March last Thursday
(3/17). The old ABA listed record was 89, although I am sure somebody has
gotten many more species. I started at 6:30 at Washington Ditch proceeding
to Railroad Ditch, Rudee Inlet, First Landing SP, Lynnhaven Inlet, CBBT,
Magotha, Kiptopeke SP, Oyster Landfill, Willis Wharf, Chincoteague, Saxis,
and ending at 23:30 at ESVNWR, with an Eastern Screech-Owl.
