Once again:

Sorry ... I missed the report at the top of the next page. It was also from 
Upper Marlboro, but from Schoolhouse Pond, on 12/25/2001. Unfortunately, no 
details were recorded so the sighting goes into the "Unreviewable" category.

The earlier sighting by Marshall Iliff is still under review by the 
committee. The identification is not in question; the open issue deals with 
"origin" (naturally!).
