Hi Kathy,

Well, I'm assuming Jim's statement was based on the photos he observed =
taken by Mark Hoffman.  As I recall, Mark took those photos (226 I =
believe) in the company of lots of Maryland's best birders. I trust he =
was on the right bird, and that he wouldn't have taken 226 photos of the =
wrong bird. I'm sure Mark can supply the date and time his photos were =
taken. I interpreted Jim's statement to mean the photos he observed were =
a "Ring-billed".=20

I agree with you that the evidence of the original observer should be =
examined, especially if this evidence includes photos.  I know there is =
reluctance to release this to anyone beyond the records committee, but =
I'd like to challenge the original observers to open it up to others.  =
There are lots of us that saw the proposed Conowingo "Common Gull", or a =
bird we were told was the proposed Conowingo "Common Gull" and had =
serious doubts about it's Id.  We'd love to know if the original bird =
just flew away and never came back.=20

Good Birding,

     I agree but again feel that no one should emphatically state that=20
     'this bird cannot be a Common Gull' when they have not even seen =
any=20
     documentation from the person(s) who first saw the bird in =
question.=20
     Everyone is entitled to their opinion and, yes, I most certainly =
agree=20
     that everyones' life list is their own.
    =20
     Cheers,
     Kathy Klimkiewicz
