Mike, et al. The Montauk Sunday morning field trip included 1 Bald Eagle seen by several of the group (but not moi). Participants on field trips with me Saturday and Sunday led by Louise and Loretta: Please take a look at the CACHE entry for Sunklands CA (this is the area on Rt. A--our first stop Saturday morning on Barren Creek near Christo cemetery) and SPARKS for Montauk SP Sunday morning. I've entered the species I recorded that I heard members of the group call out. Either/both lists may be incomplete as to species, or low on individuals. Please email me with corrections/ additions and I will change the CACHE or SPARKS entry. Also, all participants of David Plank's trip to Shawnee Mac Lakes Friday evening: I've entered a bare bones list in CACHE--I know many of you saw and heard more. Please email me with additions and I will enter them. Wow! What a great weekend we had. More, More, More, pretty please! My only regret is that I could not have done every field trip.
