MD Osprey:
Well, of course EVERY local birder should keep the following in his/her
goodie bag ...
1. A copy of the MD and DC Review Lists (two page each, available at the
URL in my signature block) so you can check to see if a species you found
is reviewable or not.
2. A copy of the MD/DC Records Committee's document guidelines/checklist
(two pages, same URL) and a notepad and pen ... for taking field notes and
sketches.
I also carry a good European field (like Mullarney, et al.) and ... (if you
have room) a Mexican or Caribbean field guide ... for those extralimtal
rarities !!!
Oh, yeah ... and my phone number, in case you find a new MD state species
... <grin>
