Interesting, but not surprising, that humans had the biggest influence in aiding and abetting the "worst birds". Personal best birding in the pastdecade was a two week trip to SE Arizona 3 years ago when I added 62 new birds to my list.Susan Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155106135649887676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27055376.post-42550209269570559292010-01-09T10:32:00.244-05:002010-01-09T10:32:00.244-05:00Nice list!
