Great Dismal Swamp Birding Festival 2009 Bird List

If you didn't make it out to the Great Dismal Swamp Birding Festival last month then you missed out on a lot of action. I just received an email with the attached 2009 bird list for the three day event. I had asked for the list a couple weeks ago and just got it. As you can see there were lots of warbler sightings, and a nice variety of other birds as well. Not bad for three days! I personally didn't see all of these birds during the event but thought it would be nice to see (and share) the final tally.
