The 107th Christmas Bird Count results issue of American Birds came 
recently. One of my favorite features is the "Summary of Highest Counts of 
Individuals for the United States" (pp. 123-128), which is great fun to 
browse. In particular, I always look for species whose high numbers were 
found on Maryland counts.

Regrettably, once again the Fort Belvoir (VA) folks "stole" a lot of high 
counts that used to be the pride of the Seneca CBC. (Not that I'm bitter 
about it or anything...) In fact, I could only find one species where a 
Maryland count was #1 -- the Savannah (Ipswich) Sparrow, 83 of which were 
seen on the Ocean City count.

Were there some others I missed? Hope so. You sharp-eyed folks check it out 
and tell us if you find any additional species where Maryland had the high 
count.
