I hate it when Jim begs. Sorry Jim. I had my first Whip-poor-wills in my backyard (outside of Waldorf, MD) today, April 7 at about 6 am, singing up a storm. As long as the Whips live there, I will as well. Chuck's will be at Cobb Island shortly. George >>> <Jlstasz@aol.com> 04/06/99 08:24pm >>> Hi Folks! I beg to differ! By definition, the Franklin's Gull is not reviewable by MD/DCRC. All of Charles County is Coastal Plain and is south of Prince George's and Anne Arundel counties. If there are going to be rules for review, please stick to them. Good Birding! Jim Jim Stasz North Beach MD jlstasz@aol.com
