As a relatively new birder I don't necessarily have the credibility that established birders do. It was a<br />So nice to be able to get some other birders onto these birds via listserv postings.

I am so happy for you! I am so glad you were able to document the sightings with photos so the records would be accepted! I don't blame you for your excitement. I would have a hard time calming down after that as well! I am still learning my new area here in Maine and am so excited to see new species dropping in every day! I am so glad that you are an eBirder! Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.com
