Hello all,

Mark Hoffman pointed out a couple typos in my report on our January Big Day of
Jan. 10.  First, I erroneously substituted Eagle's Nest Campground (find and
repace error...) for Ocean Pines Pond.  At Ocean Pines we had:

Great Cormorant (3 imm.)
Gadwall (35)
Eur. Wigeon (1 male)
Am. Wigeon (75)
Green-winged Teal (1)
Canvasback (150)
Ring-necked Duck (30)
Ruddy Duck (30)

Only the two wigeon species were also seen at Eagle's Nest Camground.  

For Great Blue Heron, substitute "(many locations)" for "43 - new high".

Marjk also pointed out that he still holds the Worcester County (and one-
county) Janury Big Day record of 121 and my calculations indeed show that we
only had 117 in Worcester.  HOWEVER, our Big Day met official ABA rules (no
use of tapes, for example), while I sincerely doubt that Mark kept his screech
owl tape in the vehicle...

Good birding to all,
