[EBB Sightings] Alameda County Big Year; April totals, send 'em in

Hi all:

I keep waiting for the annual arrival of the passing
Tanager in our Eucalyptus tree and the distant
Olive-sided Flycatcher in the neighborhood redwood
snag.  They're not obliging so far. And the high-speed
commute over the Dumbarton that will eventually reveal
Phalaropes, has been equally unproductive.  But Karen
Peterson has proved the adage that patience and
persistence are the hallmark of a big year, reporting
in with 219 species tonight.  If you have your totals,
please send them along and please copy
Bob at wingbeats.org.  

Good birding, Alameda County or not,

Bob Power
