I won't post the entire summary again, but for those who might wish to keep 
track, I have several additions to the Black-bellied Whistling-Duck range 
analysis I posted previously.   Jennifer Hanson from NJ reminded me that I had 
flat-out missed the North American Birds(NAB) account of 9 birds that were in Cape 
May 5/24/04.   The record was accepted by the NJ Records Committee.   Then 
Harry LeGrand from NC told me of 5 birds seen in NC on May 16 of this year.   I 
had not gone to archives for the current year analysis; I simply started 
scanning listserves when the MD bird appeared.   Harry also filled in a July, 2005 
report from NC.   That prompted me to revisit NAB and I found that I had 
missed the following 2005 reports: GA, 2 on 6/4, 2 on 7/27 and SC, 3 on 6/1.   Now 
I wonder what else I missed.

My thanks to Jennifer Hanson and Harry LeGrand for their input.
