Some people take their lists more seriously than others. There are trip lists, yard lists, year lists, state lists, county lists, and the ultimate list which is the Life List. Some of us are very silly about lists, like the time we listed birds between meteor sightings. (http://baltimorebirdclub.org/cn/cn0202.html#1 :-) The only list I maintain is the I-don't-remember-list. If I don't remember seeing the bird, it's new to my list. I have a lousy memory; most birds are "new" to me so I experience the joy and excitement of seeing it for the first time. Over and over and over again .... Anyone got a life list from a previous life? cheers, shireen -- Shireen Gonzaga/Baltimore, MD whimbrel@comcast.net *** Wesley Clark 2004 *** http://www.clark04.com *** ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
