Previous years had given us some idea of what to expect: in 2014, our inaugural year, we netted 72 species ; in 2015, we topped that with 76 species ; but in 2016 we had horrific weather and were washed out before the day was halfway done and only had 35 species.

Any doubt I had about the need for a book about rare birds in the United States And Canada were wiped out on a Sunday evening in early February with two birding friends.
