Lily Pons has become even more birder friendly than ever. There is a book,
near the front entrance, in which to list observations. The last
observations that were entered into the book before my entry, yesterday,
were from about March 18.

The folks there seem really interested in keeping their checklist, prepared
by the Frederick chapter of MOS, up to date so, if you visit, make a not of
any interesting sightings.
