Stratford BioBlitz 2010 results!

The fall 2010 Stratford BioBlitz is now over. We will have more to post on the BioBlitz, including photos, results from other teams, and analysis, sometime soon. For now here are the preliminary results from our birding team. It is a very strong list. I want to thank everyone who helped find some great birds, as well as all of the visitors who came out to enjoy the festivities. I only wish the White-tailed Kite was a bit more cooperative today as many people stopped by looking for our infamous raptor. It's almost our mascot as it has now been here for 70 days.

And don't forget, tomorrow is the Big Sit! The radar looks fantastic tonight and many more migrants should be out there to see tomorrow.
