Looks like the final count is in for 2013. I had a wonderful time doing all this! I can think of a lot of "probably" sightings or birds I couldn't make out although the rest of the group saw them. Really I saw a lot more, but these are the totally legit, either an expert said so or my photos were good enough to identify later. So many favorites come to mind that I'm glad I put it all down so I can easily relive some of those sightings.
