When 85 Species Is Frustrating

Sunday, May 10, Email:

Despite my having a pile of data and notes, Muskegon State Park wasn't as good as I had hoped. My goal is 100 species by noon. If conditions are right, 110-120 species are realistic. The rain really hurt this year. I had a lot of weird misses, Common Grackles even. I left the park with 85 species. Not bad, but not good enough, and a little frustrating.

Thanks, Brian.  I'm trying to imagine a little frustration at finding "only" 85 species at one location, but it's not working.   - Ric  ;-)
