I first joined the listserve as you were posting the details of your big-year adventures, and I'm sure I speak for many others in saying that we were in awe, while being highly entertained by your journalism and sense of humor. In the ensuing years I only joined you on one bird walk (Pax River NAS?), but I enjoyed your enthusiasm for birding through your MDOsprey posts and Current Rarities page. Best of luck in OH. BTW, let me know where I can find a Gray Partridge in the state, for when I drive through to see my folks in Indy.
