Hi Schiffornis
Thats a lot of species from one trip and some really good quality ones in there as well. It might help if you made a direct link to your website, as many people will not want to have to cut and paste the link that you have as a signature. I can't remember exactly how to do it, but I seem to remember that it is pretty easy if you go to 'edit signature', which you find under 'My profile'.

Hi Tom

Thanks for the advice! I have changed my signature so it should make it easier to access the trip reports.

A Snowy in Virginia?? That's waaaaaay south! Fairly unusual, I'd say.
