New team name: The Maryland Yellowthroats
New Team members: Hal Wierenga
Lynn Davidson
Mark Garland
New team writeup: The Maryland Ornithological Society (MOS) is sending
a team to the 1998 World Series of Birding: from midnight to
midnight, Saturday May 9, 1998. See the back of this sheet for the
history of the World Series. The MOS team is co-captained by Hal
Wierenga and Lynn Davidson in their attempt to find more species than
any other team in Cape May County (Single New Jersey County
category). Hal and Lynn, Anne Arundel County residents, are
life-long Maryland birders and Hal has led birding trips all over the
country for MOS and for the Audubon Naturalist Society (ANS). He has
competed in five World Series on the National Geographic team and in
five more on a team sponsored by Swarovski Optics, so we are indeed
privileged to have him on our team! Lynn works in the Wildife and
Heritage Division of the MD Department of Natural Resources and is a
former Big Day record holder in Maryland. She too has competed in 5
prior World Series of Birding events, sponsored by the Swarovski
Optics Company. The third member of the team is Mark Garland, Senior
Naturalist with the Audubon Naturalist Society. This will be Mark 's
first World Series competition but he is in charge of the ANS
Extended Foray Program and has led field trips throughout the US and
in the tropics of Central and South America. The final member of the
team hasn't yet been named.
And now, the part everyone is waiting for....(drum rolls, hush falls)
