200!

After an expected late February/early March lull, new submissions are picking up for the big year. Today, we hit 200 with an Ash-throated Flycatcher. Over the last couple weeks, we've had some pretty great additions, the highlight being a completely unexpected Evening Grosbeak. We also ticked off a couple of the more difficult winterish birds with American Bittern and Virginia Rail. Unfortunately, American Woodcock still evades us. The next month will be a big push of migrants and local breeders, and we can see some of that is already beginning as we have added Swainson's Hawk, Nashville Warbler, American Golden-Plover, and the highly local Yellow-throated Warbler. I look forward to seeing what we can turn up in what should be the most exciting month of the year.
