Doug -

I compile the annual "county list" report for the Maryland Ornithological
Society (MOS).  Below are extracts from two previous reports from Kyle Rambo. 
Kyle is a wildlife biologist at the US Naval Air Station, Patuxent River, St.
Mary's County, MD [the county that's home of the MD Kelp Gull].  Kyle's cannot
reply directly since he's in Attu (poor baby!) !!


FUN LISTS: 

[1995 Report]:  Kyle Rambo (St Mary’s) again submitted a new list category.
Last year’s was the “Mailbox List”, this year it’s the “Tree” List”, the total
number of species seen in a single tree. His entry is 72 species (lifetime)
seen in a honey locust tree out his office window on the Patuxent River Naval
Air Station in St Mary’s County. How about the most species seen in a single
tree at the same time? Kyle submits 12 for this category. They were found in
this same honey locust tree on August 14, 1995. The list includes White-eyed
Vireo, Prairie Warbler, Carolina Chickadee, American Redstart, Yellow Warbler,
Northern Mockingbird, Brown Thrasher, American Goldfinch, Downy Woodpecker,
Ruby-throated Hummingbird, House Finch, and Song Sparrow.

[1998 Report]:  Kyle Rambo (St. Mary’s) reported that he added seven species to
his “Tree List”birds seen in a single Honey Locust tree located outside his
office window at Patuxent Naval Air Station. His total is now 81, up from 74
last year. In 1998 he added Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Eastern Wood-Pewee,
Blackburnian Warbler, Yellow-throated Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, Cerulean
Warbler, and Wilson’s Warbler!
