They've had a really good year. I just regret that none of the Putney
regulars apparently participates here on VTBird. Kinda silly that I'm
sitting up here in Shoreham without having been to Putney in years and
posting their counts to the VTBird list. I don't mind doing it, but
it's a little puzzling.
