I wrote yesterday (re. the Palo Alto CBC):

I had neglected some late input however:  David Suddjian reported a
NORTHERN PYGMY-OWL, and I also failed to add 1 for another species I
learned of late.  So the total species count becomes 168 +/- 1.

I also omitted to mention one notable species:

      PILEATED WOODPECKER - a total of 4 were detected (I think 3 were
                            in San Mateo Co. and 1 in Santa Clara Co.).
                            While this species has become regular in the
                            past few years (it is now in the "expected"
                            category), we have not previously recorded
                            more than 1 per year on this CBC.  Welcome!

Also becoming regular in the area is WILD TURKEY, which was reported from
a number of places, but I haven't yet tabulated the details.
