I believe only in Caroline and = Wicomico counties there have been no reports. As one of those nutty = county listers, I wonder if anyone is going for a yearly closeout on the = species. I thought this could be a good follow-up to Jim's total tick = challenge last year. My wager is twenty-five dollars per person who = closes out Red-necked Grebes in 2003, with the money going to the atlas = project. Their probably is quite a few people very close, Jim B. and = Hans H. have been traveling the counties pretty hard, and who knows = about Mr. Stasz, he could already have them closed out for the year. Any = other takers?
