Thanks, Andy, for this convenient list. The Bowie Count info is correctly given,
but the MOS web site schedule is for LAST year, 2009 - and so if unaware of it,
a viewer might get the wrong date for THIS year (tho' the day of week would be
inconsistent with 2010.)

Below, courtesy of the *Maryland Yellowthroat, *please find a list of
upcoming Maryland and nearby area Christmas Bird Counts for the 2010/early
2011 season.
This list will also appear in the Nov/Dec* Maryland Yellowthroat* and in the
the Species Count section of the MOS Website (http://www.mdbirds.org).
However, I want to note two e-mail address corrections in the list below
that were not caught before *Yellowthroat* went in the mail. Wayne Bell's
(St. Michaels CBC Compiler) correct e-mail address is
Kurt Gaskill's (Ft. Belvoir CBC Compiler)
correct e-mail address is
Hope everyone finds this list helpful for planning purposes over the
upcoming holiday season. If you have never participated in a Christmas Bird
Count before, please consider it. It's a great way to meet new birders and
the count compilers always appreciate extra help.
Appreciate Norm Saunders letting us post the list to MDOsprey.
