May Bird List Challenge

[butterfly]

With apologizies to Bruce & Joanne, I will take over their posting here and update their great start with all the other sightings so far. Just as a future note, whoever puts the first posting on as "May Bird List Challenge" will have their list reorganized to include everyone's sightings. You kind of lose your personal post in the meantime....

Thanks for the Great Start again!
Dave
