In reponse to Dave Bridge's call for more info on trip reports posted to this list, I see no need for detailed information for out of state/region/country trip reports. I love such reports, since they allow me many a vicarious thrill. If any Ospreyer is heading off for the locale reported on, they can get details off list. I share many of Dave's concerns as to reports of local birds, but find very few offending messages. But as to trip reports intended only to make folks yearn that they had the time and money to jump on a plane, I say spare the details. Tom Stock Silver Spring
