Sadly Owen I believe its 100 points, I guess the Housefinch would have to be the same until the 'higher powers' make judgement.

I would honestly be surprised if it was worth any points at all! ;)
Whilst I personally do tick it, is it actually countable for the purposes of this game? ;)

my apologies for not being online much over the last couple of months, I've been settling into college and of course birding has been busy! They're my excuses anyway.


Pariah, have you not counted House Crow. You would get 90 points if you decide to count it.
