| Tinicum Refuge Philadelphia airrort. Crum Creek woods, Sycamore Mills, West Chester Reservoir, Marsh Creek State Park, Strublel Lake, Hay Creek, Doe Run, Nottingham Park, Pine Grove Reservoir. Red-breasted Nuthatch, Water Pipit. Evening Grosbeak, White-<:rowned Sparrow (all late). Applying the old 95% rule to this record Big Day would result in an adjusted total of 156, one less than the score of eight days earlier. But an adjustment in this case seems a bit inappropriate when you consider that only Charlotte Richards prevented a 95%-listed-by-all score, and she is, according to Keith Richards, only 12 years old! Any of you 95%-rule advocates care to explain to this 12-year-old how she's breaking the rules? | |||||||||||
