Of course Jim.  The twitter thing is sort of designed as a very brief,
live streaming play-by-play for interesting or otherwise noteworthy
sightings.  It, in no way, replaces MDOSPREY.  For one thing, the
messages have to be very brief.  And in the end, the tweet feed will
only be as good as the information it gets fed.  The goal is to get
folks instant information, and maybe even entice one to go out and
bird their local patch with hopes of turning up more of the same (of
what is being discovered elsewhere in the State or region).

I'll post a bit later to MDOSPREY about today on Assateague.  Like
most everywhere else in the state, the island was also quite birdy.

Good Birding,
