Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed All - This is a reminder that MD "Locality" List totals are due to me by January 20th. I you mail them by the 20th, that will be fine (but don't forget the extra 1 cent for postage!) I've revised and "cleaned up" the "County List" instructions and Fran has posted them to the MOS web site. You can link to them from this: http://www.mdbirds.org/pdf/listinstr.pdf As I noted in last year's County List Report in the Maryland Yellowthroat, starting this year I can only accept submission on the standard reporting form. This form was published in the November-December 2000 issue of the Yellowthroat ... or you can print out a copy from the MOS web site at: http://www.mdbirds.org/pdf/lstfrm2000.pdf Currently, there is no electronic reporting form, so snail mail will be required. A few reminders and short cuts ... 1. All-time High totals. If your totals in last year's report were all correct, you don't have to rewrite them on the form, since they are already in my database. If you do reenter them, I'll double check them. 2. Please do not report totals below the various thresholds indicated on the instructions. 3. If you have not updated your totals in the past five years, you will not appear in the final report. 4. Report your list totals as of December 31, 2000. 5. Please, only one form per person! If any MOS Members/MD Osprey Subscribers have not engaged in State listing, County listing, or Yard listing ... it can be lots of fun and increase your birding skills. Read over the instructions and start lists for 2001! There may be a one-species discrepancy in either the MD or DC maximum totals. I'll check and let you know. I'm not aware of any changes that were posted the MD county "max" numbers by Marshall, so I'll use the current numbers unless someone wants to update these totals in the next few weeks. Thanks.
