A two day trip to Washington County Jan. 30/31, 2001 resulted in 84 species. The weather was not the best for birding- high winds, cold. Driving down late monday night was one of those trips you like to never have again- blizzard for 120 miles at 40mph in 4wd. It was a long night!  Best birds included;
