Seeing the Big Sits listed in the Yellowthroat reminded me to announce  that 
I, and presumably others, will be "Sitting on our Assateague" on  October 9, 
2005.  I invite anyone and everyone to join us at the end of the  Bayside 
Campground road by the canoe rentals.  If you need more specific  directions, feel 
free to email me.  I will be arriving at least an  hour before dawn, possibly 
earlier if conditions are good for night  migration.  
 
This will be the 4th year of "Sitting on our Assateague."  In 2003, we  had 
the highest total north of Mexico with 103.  Highlights from past sits  have 
included: Eurasian Collared-Dove in 2002, Yellow-headed Blackbird in 2003,  
Orange-crowned Warbler and Clay-colored Sparrow in 2004, and an excellent time  in 
2002, 2003, and 2004. 
 
Hope to see you there!!!  I'll try to send out a  reminder the week before as 
well.
