There are some obvious gaps. It seems that over the years I've surely seen Snowy Egret or Northern Flicker. In fact, I thought I saw a Northern Flicker from the yard not too many months ago. But, if I did, I forgot to record it. And since I don't get credit for genus, I don't have the Selasphorus that visited in early September that I thought might be a Broad-Tailed Hummingbird. A BTHU did go on to spend several days in Abita Springs in early October. Could it be the same one? I simply don't know, so I don't want to count it.

My new goal: 70 species seen in the yard by December 31, 2004.
