Oriole + in DC In-Reply-To: <38810347.B2CF73D3@erols.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Just MD, Paul, but I could start a DC list, too, if people are interested and some nice soul would send me sightings for the year to date. In fact, I think that's a good idea. I'd like to learn more about sightings in DC. I'll begin to prepare the page. If you, Rob or anyone else who birds consistently in DC will send me a January 2000 sightings list, we'll be in business.
