Just in case anyone hasn't noticed, this alleged Pacific Loon would be a first MD state record, so we should ALL be taking good notes, good photos if possible, and submitting same to the MD/DC Records Committee. The more folks they hear from, with good substantiating details, the more likely the bird is to be accepted as a valid record. If you go to see the bird and if you take notes and or photos, please consider submitting them to: Phil Davis Secretary, MD/DC Records Committee 2549 Vale Court Davidsonville, MD 21035 Remember, every submission counts! Don't assume someone else will do it for you! Cheers, Norm =============== Norm Saunders Colesville, MD osprey@ari.net
