As I described in my email report, we saw 95 species in our best 24 hour period (11:30 am Tuesday, May 16 - 11:30 Wednesday, May 17), so that's our "official" Birdathon total. For our entire trip, we managed 118 species -- and loads of good times!
What, you didn't receive my email report? Just let me know and I'll send you a copy!
A huge THANK YOU to all who contributed to support our Birdathon. If you didn't have a chance to do so but would like to now, there's still time.
The photo here is of the coolest bird of the trip (IMHO), a Lark Sparrow. But the photo is not of the one that we saw, and not mine -- thanks instead to Mick Thompson for this great shot!

The Old Crownies saw 95 bird species over the course of 24 hours during our three-day trip to NW Ohio. For the entire trip, we totaled 118 species, hours and hours of sunshine (yay!), lots of peanut butter sandwiches, and innumerable moments filled with good times! A more detailed report to come....

The Old Crownies are ready to bird! But some of you might be confused by our name, so here's the deal: We're older than we were before, We're cronies, as in partners and friends (Mary and Bill are a couple, as are John and Gerry). We're friends with each other,
Meanwhile, Bill can't resist the pun for a drink that was common among the older generation when he was a kid: Old Crow bourbon -- ask your grandparents about that one.
