[CT Daily] CT Report 11/17/2007 Cave Swallows, Common Ground-Dove

[Roy Harvey]

Special Note:  The CTBirds list has been out of order since mid-day. 
The vendor providing the service has fixed the problem, and tells me
that no messages were lost, but there will be a delay while the
backlog of messages is processed.  I may not have everything before I
send this so you might have to check CTBirds for the rest of the
story.  Making life a bit more complicated I am away for the weekend
and doing all this remotely, so I may take a shortcut or two with
some of the less unusual reports.
