Maryland Listers -
As the active listers already know, I am the Maryland Ornithological
Society "County List Compiler". It is closing in on the time to think
about year-end list totals .. but, I need your help ...
The county "max" numbers I have used for the last several years come from
the 1996 edition of the "Yellow Book" and these numbers are rapidly
becoming outdated. While there are some active local county listing
programs, no one in the MOS keeps tabs (officially or unofficially) on
these numbers on a state-wide basis,
I would really like to have someone from each of the 23 counties, wherever
possible, provide me, each year with your best estimate of the total number
of species that have been found in your county.
The counties that have active listing programs or active resident county
listers probably already keep track of this data, but most counties are
probably "uncovered".
Here's a list of the counties and some suggestions of people that might
like to "adopt a county". Remember, the only thing I need is an estimate
each year of what the current number of species is that has been found in
"your" county.

Prince George's Fred Fallon/Peter Osenton
Anne Arundel Marshall Iliff/Al Haury/Lynn Davidson
Howard Jo Solem/Jane Coskren
Montgomery Paul O'Brien/Norm Saunders/Sam Freiberg
If you can help me on this, please reply via e-mail. The MOS Board Meeting
is this Saturday (I won't be there), but maybe I can ask MOS President,
Norm Saunders, to delegate any uncommitted counties to the local (or
nearest) MOS chapter for "adoption".
Thanks in advance.
