MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Last year, young Jordan Rutter posted a request on MDOSPREY for some birding information. As a result, she and her family came out to Baltimore County to visit Soldier's Delight, observed the Cliff Swallows nesting on Rt. 91 bridge and later attended one of the Chimney Swift counts in Baltimore. At the time Jordan was completing assignments required by the ABA's national Young Birder of the Year contest and..... SHE WON!
