| Eastern Phoebe (tame) |
I thought at the end of the trip we were less than 100, but more than 80; maybe 88. We ended with at least 109! I need to see other's lists to see if any other species were seen by the group and not known to me. Nothing rare, just a good cross section of what's normally around at this time of year. The Eastham Stump dump area has drastically changed in a year, especially the back area with almost all the thickets removed. Still the most productive area. Most surprising miss was Tree Swallow-first time since doing this trip; should have hundreds if not thousand(s).
