Peter: Here is.
So…2014 was way better than 2013, but still sort of a mixed bag.
I’ve include our worst misses, in case you want to alert readers of species that still might make ‘count week.’
Thanks to everyone for helping organize the chaos so I could get this together quickly, & now I hope I can get all the area-captain data together (I’ll start assembling what I have later today).
Best to all & Happy Hol’s,
Rick
