Just to keep the records straight for those of you who are noting same, I have two earlier than previously reported species... 4/30 A Black-throated Blue Warbler at Marshall Hall by Fred Fallon 5/6 A Golden-winged Warbler at Oldtown, Allegany, by JB Churchill --------- Now for the new entries: 5/7 <bold>Roseate Tern </bold> OC Inlet Paul O'Brien, Paul Pisano, Ottavio Janni <bold>Black Rail </bold> Oland Road, Fred (flyover) Ditto <bold>Wilson's Warbler</bold> Glenn Dale, PG Tom Beal 5/8 <bold>Dickcissel</bold> Aberdeen Proving Ground, Harf Dave Webb and Russ Kovach 5/9 <bold>Black-billed Cuckoo</bold> Rockburn, Ho Co Bonnie Ott, also at Bowie, PG by Fred Fallon on the same date 5/9 <bold>Mourning Warbler</bold> Layhill Park Andy Rabin, et al. This is an additional 6 species, bringing us to 284 + 4 possibles, with a total of 288 species!!! Mississippi MOS still stands at 286, but no updates since 5/5. Since we really shouldn't count the possibles, we're nearly neck and neck now!
