Hey everyone-

I realize that this is a little off-topic, and I hope I'm not pushing the list boundaries, but I'm a little confused.  Many people have talked to me about entering Audubon magazine's current photo contest, called "Birds in Focus."  I was looking forward to entering the competition, but when I recently tried to upload my photos to the website, it said that residents of MD and about 5 or 6 other states were excluded from the competition.  Does anyone know why this might be the case?  Please respond off-list.

Thanks,

Nico Sarbanes
