Several folks have been posting information on their trips to other locales and some, I think, haven't been doing so here because they felt it wouldn't be acceptable or appropriate for MDOsprey. Let me just say, I'm as interested in the activities of Maryland birders as I am in Maryland birds, so if any of you have just finished some spectacular trip (like to Attu--hint, hint), please feel free to post the information here. Just make sure that the subject line of your posting makes it clear you are talking of out-of-area birding sites. That way, the folks who don't want to read it can simply press their delete key and avoid any frustrations they might otherwise feel. Best to all of you! Off to Florida for my in-laws' 60th wedding anniversary party- -see y'all on Sunday! Norm P.S. 60 years...gives one pause, no? =============== Norm Saunders Colesville, MD osprey@ari.net
