CoBus Bird Breeding Atlas Counts Continued

CoBus has two groups out conducting BBS Counts. I am putting together trip reports of both groups. Information is partly reported hearsay and partly personal experience. Groups have included Bryan Ehlmann, Sue Ehlmann, Gary Weston, Richard Stevens, Gary Zeeto, Roger Danka, Bill Cryder, Jerry Petrosky, Randy Cross, and at times several others. A few birders have participated in both groups.
