Checked out the updated comp list and noticed that the Whip-poor-will that I reported on April 2
at Patuxents North Tract didn't make the list...

Subject: [MDOSPREY] MD Comp List Update - March
MD Birders,
The exciting start to 2012 continued in March. The seemingly steady stream of
rarities that kicked off the year (think barnacle and pink-footed goose) was
replaced by an early spring with a number of MD and county early arrival records
(e.g., yellow-throated warbler and Louisiana waterthrush). By my estimate, MD
birders tallied a total of 208 species in March and added 23 species to the year
list. This raised the comprehensive 2012 list up to 240 species. It is
interesting, at least to me, that despite the influx of migrants in March, the
monthly tallies have been relatively similar so far this year (203 in January
and 202 in February). I don't suspect this trend will not continue into April
and May, however.
You can view the latest update in detail on Bill Hubick's web site
(http://www.billhubick.com/docs/MD_Comp_List_2012.pdf). Please let me know if
you see any mistakes or missing records. As usual, if you observe a species
that is sensitive or on private property and are hesitant to post to Osprey or
e-bird, let me know and I'll include them in the list with only limited location
information. Since new species will be added to the Comp List regularly in
April, I'll send out mid-month update in a couple of weeks. Only 3 days into
April, 4 more species have already been added!
Many thanks to the numerous birders who have submitted records and helped with
the list so far!
Cheers,
Dave
