One old timey birder told me just wait long enough they will change it back referring to the bird name changes that keep happening...so I still use old school language for the most part I need an update, but just can't part with my old book!! Saw the sage grouse when a dozen or so flushed out of the tall grass edges of one of the canals near Lower Klamath! AND there were these blue barrels with signs on that said "Hunters Put your Grouse Wings in the Bucket," yada yada yada, I didnt even read the rest....damnSondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485055844682296876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-91084307129005090252015-11-28T08:38:42.552-05:002015-11-28T08:38:42.552-05:00Congrats on all the new birds!!!

One thing- Winter Wrens got split a few years back, so out here we have Pacific Wrens and back east there are Winter Wrens. They look the same pretty much. Anyway, congrats again, 35 is a fantastic number!Jen Sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932953314258705622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-6161434864510937772015-11-26T09:29:48.075-05:002015-11-26T09:29:48.075-05:00seeing new and different birds was one of the high...seeing new and different birds was one of the highlights of this fall trip for me....now I have this bee in my bonnet to go to Everglades before the migrants leave! :o)Sondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485055844682296876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-10380061941687132112015-11-25T19:32:07.554-05:002015-11-25T19:32:07.554-05:00Great list!

If you're a member of the 600 club, you'd have to start going to foreign countries to add any more!KaHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528677007819875856noreply@blogger.com
