I know tha= t the Pacific Loon is not on their list - I just finished putting together = a list for them using Steve Hult's list, the park's list, inputs from the p= ark Rangers and my sightings. I haven't had a call from Adam, a Ranger at the park. He usually lets me know of recent sightings. I will be willing to bet that he doesn't know about the Loon. If I wasn't off to Costa Rica tomorrow, I would call Adam and let him know about it. Maybe you could give him a call. His # is 410-222-1777. The park is closed on Tuesdays but someone can be reached a= t 410-222-1796. Al Haury Anne Arundel Bird Club cactuswren@erols.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "WILLIAM B.
