Hi All,

The time for the May Count on 12 May draws ever closer. I will be 
compiling the May Count here in Kent County. It is possible, if we have 
thorough coverage of the whole county, to exceed 140 bird species on May 
Count. Kent is a varied county ranging from the Chester River on the 
south with it's fringe of loblolly pine and oak in the southwest to the 
largely hardwood forests of the Sassafras Valley in the north and the 
oak-hickory-Virginia pine woods of Millington on the east. The best 
waterbirding is in southwestern Kent County, but the best warblers and 
other songbirds are to be found in the Millington/Golts area. We would 
like to field at least four parties this spring. Let me know if you 
would like to participate and where you might be interested in counting 
(sorry but we can't manage to put everybody at Eastern Neck). My contact 
information appears below in my signature block. Thanks for your 
attention, and I hope some of you will be able to count come the twelfth.
 
Good Birding,

Walter Ellison
