The August/September issue of CHIP NOTES, the newsletter of the Baltimore Bird Club (a chapter of the Maryland Ornithological Society) is now available online at http://www.bcpl.net/~tross/cn/cn9808.html Also new at the Baltimore Bird Club site is the schedule of field trips and events for the rest of 1998 http://www.bcpl.net/~tross/schedule.html and an announcement of the new BIRDER'S GUIDE TO BALTIMORE AND BALTIMORE COUNTY, written by members of the BBC and edited by our own Elliot Kirschbaum. This is a birder's best source for information about where to bird and what to expect in Baltimore and the surrounding county since Audubon's landscape of Baltimore harbor (his view of the city was, frankly, somewhat marred by the oversized Canvasbacks in the foreground): http://www.bcpl.net/~tross/siteguid.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- Terry Ross -- tross@bcpl.net --- Baltimore MD BALTIMORE BIRD CLUB http://www.bcpl.net/~tross/baltbird.html BACKYARD BIRDING http://www.bcpl.net/~tross/by/backyard.html
