OK - just a=20 > little? Bill, I care a lot and I appreciate the work that went into informing us of your findings. Since I took over the annual summary writeup of MD and DE Christmas Count results for National Audubon, I've attempted to do my summary by the major ecoregions noted in the Yellow book. I want to play now with the information you pointed out and see how the counts (33 CBCs all or in part in MD/DE/DC) fall into the new ecoregion categorizations. It'll be interesting to see if I come up with different groupings of the counts to focus my attention on. So, yes, I care and the material you provide will give me a lot of information to work through over a long and possibly snowy winter! Thank you!
