Once again, we owe a great vote of thanks to Kit Struthers for doing 
such a tremendous job of hand-compiling the 4-page summary table and 
translating the many hand-written reports and field cards into neatly 
typewritten pages. Another big “thank you” goes to the many hardy 
bird-watchers who trudged and drove and paddled about their areas in 
all kinds of wretched weather—some not once, but up to half a dozen 
times. From all this personal effort and devotion, great bird counts are 
made—year after year.
