MD / DC Birders - I am about to wrap up my MOS Locality List report in the next few days to make Norm's Yellowthroat deadline ... I have a parallel request in to Marshall Iliff and Jim Stasz, the keepers of the MD Yellow Book totals for their inputs, but I wanted to also be sure I got to any other county list keepers at the same time. Here is what I have at this point in time for the "max" numbers ... Maryland 415 Includes a few new historical additions that will be published in the next few weeks DC 312 The total from the MD/DCRC Official List that will also be published soon All County 226 From Jim Stasz Allegany 284 From the 1995 Yellow Book Anne Arundel 336 " Baltimore City/County 337 " Calvert 299 " Caroline 283 " Carroll 279 " Cecil 284 " Charles 275 " Dorchester 311 " Frederick 290 " Garrett 277 " Harford 297 " Howard 289 From Jo Solem Kent 299 1995 YB Montgomery 315 " Prince George's 313 " Queen Anne's 293 " Saint Mary's 309 From Tyler Bell and a STMA committee Somerset 301 1995 YB Talbot 309 " Washington 260 " Wicomico 287 " Worcester 370 " Remember, this is not an exact science. The max numbers are used to compute reporting thresholds. Whether new rarities are on or off these lists is up to you all ... a difference of a few birds doesn't make any real difference to me. These things are always changing. If you have a update, please let me know. Thanks.
