Dear MD Birders,

Thank you all for a ton of information that will be very helpful to me. I
was put in contact with you by Dave R. I'm in touch with Alice, and have
heard from Sarah, Marcia, James, Maria, Cass & Rick. Aren't birders the
greatest? When I've followed all your leads, I hope to get back to you with
a summary of what I could find out.

I now understand that MD Birding is related to MOS. Many years ago, when I
was a beginner, I had the privilege of being on a Christmas bird count with
Chandler Robbins & an NIH colleague that some of you may have known, the
late & wonderful Harvey Mudd.

Rewarding birding to all,

Lee
