Yes, I do apologize for not having the proper numbers for each type of bird
I spotted at Oakfiled Park.  I was there in more of the photographer
capacity and therefore did not get a chance to get accurate counts.  I meant
my post to be more of a "casual" report to just let people know what birds
were in the area.  I didn't know that postings to this news group had such
strict scientific requirements.

Have a nice day,
Marilyn Ewer
