FLORIDA August 2006 - Bird Checklist

Lookin' for work and visiting Mom... what a great way to spend a few weeks in August. So many people helped me narrow down choices for where to visit. I especially appreciate the help of Bill Phelan of Tallahassee, who gave up his migrant search to help me find many life birds at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. 31 life birds for the trip!
