Howdy all! My Dream Year List is finally online and can be viewed [slowly...it's a big hawg file...I'll trim it later when I have time <grin>] at: http://www.erols.com/gregorym My 1998 ABA Area list is there in living color including date first seen, state, and location. It also has all the missing species as well. Here's where you can help out (if you care). For those of you who don't want to go through the whole list, this is what I'm still working on here in the mid-Atlantic: Wilson's Storm-Petrel - NC pelagic in Aug; sooner if lucky Black Rail - Elliot Island this weekend Curlew Sandpiper - somewhere on the Atlantic Coast late Jul/early Aug Iceland Gull - Conowingo/Newark/NJ Coast in late Nov/Dec Snowy Owl - hotline bird somewhere within a day's drive in Dec Whip-poor-will - try some local recommendations, else SE AZ in Jul Philadelphia Vireo - Cape May in Sep Swainson's Warbler - hope to get down to Great Dismal Swamp soon Henslow's Sparrow - Garrett Co soon Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed Sparrow - Elliot Island this weekend Maybe some of you will get bit by the bug...hope the list helps. At the very least, I hope it provides some interesting reading. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line and I'll answer them [in between birding excursions, of course!]. The most fun year ever! Greg Miller Lusby, MD
