Well, the New Year is here and now it's time to wrap up 2004 by
sending in your species totals both for 2004 and for your life lists
for both Maryland and the District of Columbia.

The submission form is here:

http://www.mdbirds.org/birds/mdbirds/locality/lstfrm2004.pdf

You are invited to submit your data electronically as long as you
check the form for this year's submission requirements or print the
form out and send it to me via snail mail.

I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone to see how you fared
last year--there were so many good birds over the year that I expect
a number of MD life lists have jumped up sharply!

There is also interesting news at the top of the list, for those of
you who keep track of this esoterica.

Best,
Norm Saunders
