Paul, thanks for posting. David, mega-thanks for creating. I realize that
this platform does not have the reach it used to, and that is a terrible
shame. But, recognizing that, I'd suggest that any of you who frequent
other sites/platforms post this link there. It is an outstanding document,
and I think it would be of interest to anybody with more than the most
casual interest in Louisiana birds.
