Are you originally from Ohio then?

OK, Darrell,

Quick walk in a Missoula Park after work produced:
294. Black-capped Chickadee
295. Am Dipper.

I was really pleased by seeing the Dipper because I haven't managed to see one since I saw one in my first week of birdwatching in 1996!

Montana was not as productive as I'd hoped. People there thoiught it was maybe because of the heat. A weekend and 500 miles of driving added only:
296. Brewer's Sparrow
297. Red-breasted Nuthatch
298. Wood Duck
299. Western Grebe
300. Pygmy Nuthatch (First time I've seen all 4 Nuthatches in one year)
301. Warbling Vireo
302. Trumpeter Swaqn
303. Fox Sparrow.

So I've passed my target of 300 US birds in a year with 4 months still to go. Wonder if I could see 300 birds in Texas this year? Probably not!
