Great list, Allen, and a thrill for the gals, no doubt.  What you and
Gale do for these kids will outlast you.

Notes:  This list was compiled during and after a "Duck Watch" produced by
The Roanoke Valley Bird Club and Gale Kuebler for area Girl Scouts.  There
were about 25 girls in attendance and about half as many parents.  The
Roanoke birders did a fantastic job leading the groups birding, and it was a
joy indeed for us old birders to see youngsters getting excited about
birding.  No doubt I missed a species or two seen by another group.
