Plant List Goes Professional & First Cranes of the Season

So before I go plant, there were cranes at the ABC earlier in the week and lots of waterfowl in the large ponds to the east.   Trails are wet, so come prepared with rubber boots.

On to plants...thanks to the advice of my friend Sarah Schultz, we have a draft list of plants, shrubs, trees, etc. of the ABC set up within the Universal FQA Calculator software.  In laypersons, the greater the concentration of high-Cs, the better.  Summary stats are below; full details can be downloaded under the "Flora" tab.
