Subject: Re: [MDBirding] Review Status of White-faced Ibis - Correction
Hi again:

Ooops ... moving too fast, here, sorry.

At this year's 2013 Annual Meeting, the committee did change the
review status of White-faced Ibis from Category 2 to Category 4C,
which means that White-faced Ibis is now reviewable only if seen west
of the Coastal Plain.

I had checked my draft meeting minutes, but I had updated them from
my handwritten notes yet. Thanks to Rob Ostrowski for keeping me honest!

Recent Review List changes have not been posted to our web site, yet.

Sorry for this confusion!

Phil
