Yep, you got one here. Lots of variety in the Ozarks, and we're in the area of overlap between the Central and Mississippi flyways.

After a long career in conservation, I'm not usually too far from a binocular either. Not really into keeping score, but I do have a life list (i.e. no clue how many are on it). Have documented about 70 species in the back yard in the last few years, though.

Spent some time last week in Parker River Refuge in MA. Saw a plethora of shorebirds, but mostly enjoyed watching them instead of agonizing over which species. Guess I'm not that hard core after all.
