Bob, Elliot and all of you at the BBC. Congrats on producing a wonderful guide! We returned home yesterday after birding an extra day to hit Allegany County, and finally had a chance to take a really good look at the book. This volume is packed with sites -- you wouldn't believe how many places there are to go birding -- and full of information birders love to have on hand while planning a trip. I strongly recommend it to everyone. Also, very much enjoyed seeing both old and new faces in the crowd at the MOS Conference. We were pleased so many of you could make the MDOsprey reception, especially given the late hour. Mark's lecture was fascinating and got us all off to a great start for the weekend. Again, we thank all of you for making MDOsprey such a success.
