    On this date Mangoverde has reached a major milestone. The 5000th species with photos has been added. I choose Glen Tepke's photos of Kittlitz's Murrelet for the 5000th species as my way of thanking Glen for his longtime support of the website. Glen has contributed many photos and has also encouraged many others to do the same. Without his vocal support I doubt I would be including this note.
    New photos have been added for the following species: - Kittlitz's Murrelet
