MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Phil George Jett was somewhere in Arizona on January 15 and did not even know that there was a Western Grebe in Maryland. I hope it is relocated so I can go see it. Maybe Marshall could provide names if it is important. Regards to all.
