Below I have pasted a list of birds that were part of a photograph exhibit in the Mulhollan Blind that burned in August. For those who visited the blind or bird Lake Fayetteville, I wonder if you would take a look at the list below and see if there are additions and subtractions we should consider. Current plans are to redo this photo exhibit in the rebuilt blind. Comments may help guide the final product.
If you have comments, please send them to me personally (<joeneal...>) rather than posting them to the entire list. Thanks for you help.
