If anyone has any documentation to contribute to the files, for the sightings below, please let me know and I'll be sure to hold the files open. If you provided a description of any of these birds in a e-mail on MD Osprey, I'll assume that the committee has your permission to include your e-mail with the review file. If you do not wish the committee to use an e-mail from you, please let me know. E-mails are often written quickly to "get the word out" and do not necessarily cover many of the documentation points outlined on the committee's documentation checklist (http://www.mdbirds.org/mddcrc/rcguide.html), so the committee always welcomes formal observer sighting reports for "reviewable" species. Here is the list of current specifics: MD/2001-077 Harris's Sparrow Point Lookout State Park, Saint Mary's County, 11/20-25/2001. I have images from Arlene Ripley, but no written reports except for some e-mail messages. MD/2001-039 Greater White-fronted Goose (pink-billed form), Centennial Lake, Columbia, Howard County, 11/17/2000. I have images from George Jett, but no written reports except for some e-mail messages. MD/2001-009 Bewick's Swan, Schoolhouse Pond, Upper Marlboro, Prince George's County, 02/03/2001-???. I have images from Jim Norton, but no written reports except for some e-mail messages.(This bird was first reported on MD Osprey as a Whooper Swan ... but we will probably review it as a Bewick's Swan). MD/2001-016 Pacific Loon, Ocean City Inlet, Worcester County, 05/15-24/2001. I have images from Jim Stasz and Dave Czaplak, with the only one written report submitted by Marshall Iliff. MD/2001-078 Western Tanager, Ashton, Montgomery County, 12/15/2001-???. I have a report and sketch from Marshall Iliff, but no photos or other reports (except e-mails) Thanks.
