MD Osprey, MD Birds, and BRCF-L:

Due to some web technical difficulties, it's been 
a while since we have posted any updates to the 
MD/DC Records Committee web pages. A new batch of 
PDF web products is now available. Here are the highlights and a summary:

1. Members. Since our last posting three members 
have rotated off the committee and we thank them 
very much for their service; they are: Tyler 
Bell, Ellen Lawler, and Marcia Watson. The three 
new members that were elected to the committee 
for three-year terms are: Gwen Brewer (Charles 
County), Mikey Lutmerding (Prince George's and 
Allegany Counties), and Dave Ziolkowski (Harford County).

subspecies; Broad-tailed, Calliope, Allen’s and 
Rufous Hummingbird – including the 2004 MD Calliope
