Robert -

I can't recall if you or someone else suggested getting the 'yellow book' but I can't seem to find it.  Any clue where to look to buy it?

Also - do you have a generalised arrivals list for Wash Co (or MD) that you can email me to keep an eye out.  It would be a huge help!  The hard part is that I work in Maine every other week so I've missed all last weeks / early this weeks arrivals but we're getting our own up here, esp. on the coast.  First pine warblers, winter wrens, nuthatches, and (oddly...) robins - people are excited to see robins on the Maine birds list.  Thanks!

Kevin,
    Very good to hear from you.  We get so few reports from that part of the
state it will be good to learn what you are seeing.  I was up to
Knoxville/Weverton a week ago to check out the river.  Only Common
Mergansers sitting on the rocks that day.  By the way, in which county are
you?  I also keep all the arrival and departure date records for the
counties.  For instance the earliest report of White-eyed Vireo in Frederick
County is April 18 and the earliest for Washington County is April 15.  So
you can expect them in about three weeks or so.  Hope to see you some time
soon.
