Hi all,



Sorry for the lateness of this, but I had to head back to Frostburg for
work yesterday and was unable to post.  I will get all of the lists
into e-bird as time allows, but for now I will post some highlights.  

Jim Brighton, Tom Feild and myself headed down to Worcester/Somerset
Counties to do some birding on Sunday 26 October.  We started the day
at Bayside, and finished at Vessey's Orchard.  Some highlights are
