 I love it, and applaud your efforts Keith! Hope it continues. Winter is bl=
eak but it adds a bit of zest to birding before we can get excited about Sp=
ring migration.

We added 1 new species to bring us to 192 and it was a great one to get bec=
ause Killdeer is the last of our missing core species. Last week we had thr=
ee species at risk of breaking a their 22+ year streak but now we are down =
to just the Eastern Towhee in that regard.=20

I certainly feel there is enough interest in the Winter Bird List to keep i=
t going. But I want to poll you all about the DOWL (February sightings). It=
 doesn=E2=80=99t take much effort beyond the WBL to keep it going so I woul=
dn=E2=80=99t mind continuing it as a subset of the WBL if there is enough i=
nterest in it. As far as I know we are the only ones that still tracks the =
DOWL and there is way less feedback about it so I=E2=80=99m not sure the in=
terest is there. Please let me know if you do like following the DOWL as we=
ll and I=E2=80=99ll keep it going too.=20

Some other notable misses so far

Eastern Towhee =E2=80=93 Was not categorized as a core species in Blake=E2=
=80=99s spreadsheet but it has the same 22+ year streak on the line.

Eastern Meadowlark =E2=80=93 Had a 19 year streak until we missed 3 of the =
last 4
