MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I think I'll start a life list of birds spotted in the Washington Post. Today, in addition to the ring-bill, there was a pileated in a Target ad. And of course there was the purple sandpiper in the United Airlines ad a few weeks back. hmmmmm Jim Boughton Chevy Chase -----Original Message----- From: Lee-Ann Taylor [mailto:slagjet@COMCAST.NET]=20 Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 7:35 AM To: MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM Subject: [MDOSPREY] WP 'Turn Left at the Ring-Billed Gull....' wildlife road trips.. MDH pointed out the article "Turn Left at the Ring-Billed Gull...." in today's Washington Post (3/10/03, page C2) about VA birding/wildlife trail guides. It was the first I'd seen of this sort of guide - and free! http://www.dgif.state.va.us/wildlife/vbwt/index.asp Since he's a driver and I'm more the birder (tho he is tolerant and learning), it's a winning idea. I can certainly imagine a similar guide for MD, and for the area East of DC into Delmarva shores and up toward NJ/Cape May. Do any of our advanced and connected MDOsprey birders know of a similar guide for these areas, or of one being worked on? other than this.... http://www.recreation.gov/advancedsearch.cfm?wildlifeviewing=3D1&states=3D= MD thanks, lee-ann, glendale, MD ... looking forward to nurturing a new shared interest w/mdh as we creep toward our 60s.... =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =========================================================================
