    How Is Your 2015 List Going?

    Obviously everyone's list is their own, just thought I'd pass along (as a former bander), that according to the ABA's "rules", we're not supposed to count birds post/during capture. That is, unless you watch it fly into the net. I count 'em with an asterisk myself, similar to "heard-only" birds.

    Thanks, Peter! It was quite a trek... we were really out in the middle of Grizzly country: a 50 mile, 5 day hiking/camping trip that looped around the Brazeau Lake area (southern edge of Jasper, started in Banff). On the last day we got hit with snow HARD. Soaking wet and freezing, hands numb...
