Just a reminder to all: The 1999 World Series of Birding is fast approaching. It is on Saturday, May 15 this year and the Maryland Ornithological Society has assembled a killer team! Captain Hal Wierenga is joined by Lynn Davidson, Marshall Iliff, and Mark Hoffman in their bid to unseat the Cape May Bird Observatory pros! The Maryland Yellowthroats would appreciate your support in the form of pledges or donations. You can make a pledge via e-mail-- just send it to me at osprey@ari.net and tell me how much per species you'd like to pledge. Donations should be by check, made out to MOS, and sent to me at: Norman Saunders 1261 Cavendish Drive Colesville, MD 20905-7030 Our team saw 153 species last year (24 hours of unending rain) but could just as easily break the magic 200 number, plan your pledges accordingly. Thanks!
