Folks

Gwen and I did an IBA (Important Bird Area) survey yesterday in a part of 
the Mattawoman Watershed system.  See data below.  Pretty tough going but 
thanks to the compass and GPS unit we got out alive.  Those of you with time 
on your hands or need a bird fix might contact David Yeany to volunteer. 
David is copied on the note.  This year Audubon is doing IBA data collection 
in western MD and southern MD.
