Hello Everyone,

Just an addendum to my Ernesto storm summary that Ed Boyd forwarded from my
VA-Birds post, I am aware of several reports I had missed for VA, which are
being added.  There were sightings from yesterday as well.  One thing I am
somewhat surprised at is the lack of wind-blown passerines being found, such
as boat-tailed gracke or painted bunting.  Perhaps these are not as
vulnerable to being displaced, or perhaps they are just less easily
observed.

I would welcome any additions for MD or any other area that anyone can
provide.  I am hoping to create a rough map of where each species was
observed and compare it to the storm track & relation to the center to
perhaps better understand future storms, so I need as much data as possible.

One other thing: on the archives some of the hyphens following the species
name were converted to question marks, which is not part of the original
post.  I don't want anyone to thing there was a question regarding these
sightings.

Thanks Much,

Jay Keller,
Arlington, VA
