Don't know if this is old news (I'm still catching up on the mail after
being overseas for 2 weeks), but in the latest issue of Winging It, they
announced the members of the ABA/Leica Tropicbirds team (the team of young
birders) that will be competing in the Great Texas Birding Classic.  Two of
the four team members are from MD - Jordan Rutter from Silver Spring and Jim
Wilson from Queenstown.  And of course the team is led by the inimitable
Michael O'Brien & Louise Zemaitis.

Biographies and photos of all the team members can be found at
americanbirding.org/yb/tropicbirds/photos.html.

Good birding,
