Hi Everybody: Congratulations to the 3 Wise Men: Marshall, Matt And Bill for compiling a great list and very informative report.

Last time I counted there are still only12 months in the year and still only 23 counties in Maryland. The Rarities Roundup has evolved into an increasingly popular mission to uncover every possible species in Worcester County in November. Even though I have only participated in 2008 it was very rewarding and there were some great finds. If we pick 2 different counties every month and participate in a similar Rarities Roundup for each county throughout the year maybe we can knock out MD's Next Ten Bird Species list in 7 years. And to keep the Pisanos and Hiltons of the area happy we can make Wash., D. C. the 24th county to even things out. On second thought...

Once again, thanks for a great report and GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY. See you in the field.
