MD Birders:
Below is a cross-post from VA-BIRD, forwarded by Dave Bridge.
This is all a bit new to me, but it looks like this web site
... http://www.wher.org ... is sort of an equivalent to eBird, but
for dead (sea?) birds ... however, I see a Gray Kingbird reported on
it, too ... (?)
It might be a bit too late for us here in the Middle-Atlantic for
this winter's die-off, but it looks the like the deaths continue in
the north, even though last month ...
