DORCHESTER MAY BIRD COUNT, Sat., May 11 (& May 5).
You�re invited.
For several decades, starting in 1966, I�ve been hogging the glory areas because for most of that time I was either the only one doing the count, or else it was just me and a friend or 2 in my car. Seniority, tradition, right?
Having done the long, glory road route 90 times, usually including an all-nighter, I am hoping to have folks, comprising 2 separate parties, with a good skill set, relieve me of Blackwater N.W.R. and Hooper�s Island. All that driving has gotten to me.
If so, I still plan to do the all-nighter but spend the entire day in the Elliott Island area. If not I�ll continue to do all 3 areas, with more coffee than usual.
Those who have done areas in previous years will have first dibs on them again.
Please let me know if you can help out in Maryland�s largest (I think) county with often the near smallest number of participants � even if just for part of the day.
May 4, Sat., is not an �official� count but gets done anyway. All are welcome to do that one, too.
Thanks. � Harry Armistead, Philadelphia. 215-248-4120.
