Fiddle-dee-dee on whether we woke up enough to record Swamp Sparrow on our official tally. It was there. So I'll take the 66 with an asterisk, and while I'm at it I'll take the Exclamation Point, as Annoying as it Is! And next year we'll have to shoot for 67! Oh! I have to use extra exclamation points just thinking about it!!! <BR><BR>!!Julie Zickefoosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654698829603424649noreply@blogger.com
