I think everyone felt the conference this year in Garrett County was a total success. Fran and I were really pleased to meet so many of our on-line friends at the Friday night reception and I especially wanted to thank Mark Hoffman for the wonderful slide show and discussion of confusing winter gulls. Looking forward to seeing all of you in the field during the coming year! Norm =============== Norm Saunders Colesville, MD osprey@ari.net
