     There will be an information/training meeting for those interested in 
     running or learning about Calling Frog and Toad Surveys in Maryland 
     (data on night birds are collected too).  All are welcome.
     
     Meeting Time:  6:30 p.m.
     Meeting Date:  January 21, 1999
     Meeting Place:  Gabrielson Conference Room, Patuxent Wildlife Research 
     Center (Directions at bottom)

     Many thanks and see you there.
     
     Directions to Patuxent Wildlife Research Center from the Beltway...
     
     Take the Baltimore-Washington Parkway (route 295) towards Baltimore.  
     At approximately the 3rd or 4th exit you will see signs for Powdermill 
     Road and the Beltsville Agriculture Research Center.  Take that exit 
     and turn right onto Powdermill Road.  Travel about 4 miles or so until 
     you come to the end of Powdermill Road.  As you travel along you will 
     see signs for the USFWS National Visitor Center on your right - ignore 
     them - but it is a nice place to visit.
     
     Powdermill road ends at Route 197 at a stop light.  Cross 197 and you 
     will go directly into Patuxent's main gate.  Travel a bit less than a 
     mile, passing a few brick buildings and a large parking lot on your 
     right.  The road will end where it intersects with another road, turn 
     left and take an almost immediate left into the circular drive in 
     front of the largest building on Patuxent - Gabrielson Lab.  Park on 
     the drive, or, if full, park back in the large lot you passed.  The 
     conference room is on the second floor and the left hand side of the 
     building as you stand facing the front of the building.
