It was a big morning out there today! Zillions of birds across the Madison area, probably because of good migration conditions and an early-morning T-storm. Picked up most of my warblers for the year for BIGBY, and a number of expected passerines.

I have a question - I saw a Brewster's Warbler, and that species is on the BIGBY list, so I checked it off. Is this legit? Was this "unit" counted last year?

Daniel saw one last year but just marked it with an "X" so that it didn't count toward his (winning) total. I'm fine with sticking to that precedent but would be happy to hear others' opinions.

The last few days have been UNBELIEVABLE! I LIVE TO BIGBY!!!!!

Owen, I see that you changed those on the list. That's fine with me - seems like kind of a bonus. Maybe it'll be a tiebreaker...

Wasn't me Jesse--it was Paulios! But I like the tiebreaker idea.
