In addition to a page describing the BBC's new "Birder's Guide to Baltimore and Baltimore County, Maryland," we have also put up descriptions taken from the "Guide" for two of the most popular Baltimore birding spots: Lake Roland and Cylburn Arboretum. There is also a map showing the locations of these sites, and a new page comprising summaries of recent birding trips to Lake Roland. All bird lists at the BBC site (including our popular list of the birds of the Continental US and Canada) have been brought into compliance with the 7th edition of the AOU checklist. As it has for years, the BBC site continues to carry the latest updates of regional rare bird alerts; "CHIP NOTES," the BBC newsletter; information about the BBC; as well as links to other sites of regional interest and to some of the best and most comprehensive birding sites on the web. The BBC also maintains the Backyard Birding page. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
