I will be adding a Wilson's Phalarope that was reported from Hart-Miller in June, but I would like to post the missing species for the year. I have not edited out the accidentals, pelagics or extirpated. If you have seen any of these species in MD since Jan 1, 1999, please let me know and keep some these species in mind as the year winds down. This is Part I: Red-necked Grebe Cinnamon Teal Western Grebe Tufted Duck Yellow-nosed Albatross King Eider Northern Fulmar Masked Duck Black-capped Petrel Swallow-tailed Kite Manx Shearwater Swainson's Hawk Audubon's Shearwater Gyrfalcon White-faced Storm-Petrel Yellow Rail Leach's Storm-Petrel Corn Crake Magnificent Frigatebird Purple Gallinule White Ibis Limpkin Roseate Spoonbill Wilson's Plover Black-bellied Whistling-Duck Eskimo Curlew Fulvous Whistling-Duck Long-billed Curlew Red-necked Stint Bridled Tern Little Stint Sooty Tern Curlew Sandpiper Dovekie Red Phalarope Common Murre Great Skua Thick-billed Murre Pomarine Jaeger Razorbill Long-tailed Jaeger White-winged Dove Mew Gull Common Ground-Dove Yellow-legged Gull Snowy Owl Sabine's Gull Burrowing Owl Black-legged Kittiwake Long-eared Owl Ross's Gull I'll publish Part II within a week or so.
