Hi Peter,

Here are the e-Boid checklists that I did. Didn't do one for Floyd, where we added Savanna Sparrow, Am Goldfinch, and E. Wood-Pewee (and I also had a red-eyed vireo).

Hi Peter,
First, very glad we had a chance to bird together during this trip!  It was great and thanks for fine-tuning the itinerary and keeping us on track.

Below is the list of birds that I remember we saw. I may have missed some birds seen by others, but it should be close, with 71 species.

Highlights: The Baird's and Pectoral Sandpipers at JamBay as some good juvenile Short-billed Dowitchers; Royal Terns at Plumb, and the Bobolinks at Chisolm Park.
