We still have lots of areas of the county that need better coverage so by all means consider coming down! We will begin Friday evening with a logistical get-together at Norm & Fran's place in West Ocean City between 6:00 and 9:00 pm to eat pizza, socialize, go over maps, discuss strategies, and make up a wish list of the most-wanted Worcester County (and Maryland!) birds that we'll all be looking for. All day Saturday is for counting, culminating in an evening tally-rally at Mark & Amy Hoffman's place in North Ocean City. Sunday is reserved for organized "chases" after the best birds located the previous day. Fran and I have participated the past two years and we've had a great time. How can you beat the birds, the locale, and the company? If you have questions, or want to sign on and need directions, call me as soon as possible at 202-691-5707(W) or at 301-989-9035(H). If you can't make it down for the Friday evening strategy session, call us in West Ocean City between 6 and 9 pm on Friday to talk with Mark Hoffman and get a location assigned to you. The number is 410-213-9218. Looking forward to seeing y'all 'down the ocean!'
