I just wanted to add a couple of interesting pieces of information some, perhaps many, birders may not be aware of.  I am not an expert on the subject matter, just read the DNR hunting regs a little further this year.  My personal stake is to know what the deer hunters that line my property are up to from Sep 15 into January.

Seasons and Bag limits:

Clapper and King Rail (Sep 1 - Nov 8) - All Counties: Bag limit 10 per day (no more then 1 King), possession limit 20.

Sora and Virginia Rails (Sep 1 - Nov 9) - All Counties: Bag limit 25 PER DAY

Interestingly too, Mottled Duck and Fulvous Tree-Duck are on the list of baggable duck species.  1 per day each.

I don't want this post to continue any hunting/anti-hunting thread.  I just thought the above facts interesting and related to Maryland birds.
