I would be remiss if I did not mention that there is another team entering
the World Series of Birding from MD.  This is the Steiner Optics sponsored
Youth Team from Queen Anne's County consisting of Jessica Vooris, Hilary
Staver, Ben Thiesse and Jim Wilson.  This will be the 6th WSB competition
for Ben and Jim and the 4th for Hilary and Jessica.  They visited the
Steiner facility just before Easter and received a tour of the facility.
They learned about the optics business from development to production and,
perhaps most importantly, about providing good customer service.  They are
accepting pledges for the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center (i.e.
Horsehead).  Last year the team found 143 species in Cape May County.

Note to Matt:  If you find a kestrel in Cape May County, please let us know!
