Hello all,

With all the many people having such great luck with this absurd lost Virginia
Rail in D.C., I am wondering, has anyone taken any photos?  Each season I
scramble to put together some interesting photos for the next ABA Field Notes
column.  This past spring I got good photos of White-winged Crossbill, Pacific
Loon (more are welcome of this bird), and Black-tailed Gull.  I expect all to
be published in the fall issue.  The summer season is usually the toughest to
get photos for, and the rail is quite a DC raritty - I only know of a couple
previous records (Dave Czaplak, are you out there?).

So...if you want a good opportunity to get one of your photos published, I'd
love to include a bewildered Virginia Rail with the summer season!!  Please
send a copy if you don't mind, to:

Jim Stasz
ABA Field Notes Secretary
P.O. Box 71
North Beach, MD  20714

Other photos are welcome of course as well...

Best,

Marshall Iliff
