Thanks to Elliot Kirschbaum, Paul Noell, John Landers, Gail Frantz and Debbie Terry for helping listening for birds for me. And to Keith Eric Costley on Sat during our search for Western Tanager. Since I joined the weekly walk in Nov. 2002, we had about 65 to 70 species. Looks forward to Lake Roland weekly survey beginning next Tues. Kevin Graff Jarrettsville, MD ocean_city2001@yahoo.com P.S. The Loch Raven report will come up on the next Chip Notes newsletter similar to Clyburn & Lake Roland weekly trips. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
