MD Birders:

At the recent Annual Meeting of the MD/DC Records Committee (MD/DCRC), a motion passed to change the definition of Maryland's pelagic (open water) boundaries. The change is from using the traditional/historic "due east" state boundary-based definition to one that using the Federal Government principle of equidistance (also sometimes called �nearest point of land�).

The MD/DCRC summarized this change in the recently published May/June 2013 issue of MOS newsletter, The Maryland Yellowthroat. You can read this summary on page 10 at the following link ...

If you are interested in a more detailed description of this change (with additional maps), you can access a seven-page document produced by the MD/DCRC here ...
