A number of people in Maryland have been given these guidelines and asked for comment. I would ask that the original messages from Paul Baicich not be re-posted on MDOsprey. I have forwarded the materials to Karen Morley for possible consideration at the next MOS Board Meeting. If you want to follow up on the ABA recommendations, check them out at: http://americanbirding.org/resources/resfrs.htm Some discussion here is fine but a decision governing statewide use should be arrived at by the Maryland Ornithological Society. If you have comments you wish to share with the Karen Morley, the current President of MOS, send them directly to her at kdmorley@yahoo.com.
