Rob? This gives DC 105 species and 1 possible new species. Total is 33.9% of the DC List. MD turns in at 197 plus 2 possible new species. Total is 47.6% and still a bit shy of 50%, but that goal will surely be surpassed soon. And the swallow have it: 3/1 Barn Swallow, Patuxent Naval Air Station, Miller and Rambo 3/11 N. Rough-winged Swallow, Mike Bowen, Hughes Hollow Many thanks to all for the updates.....
