Two new additions.... 12/4 Long-eared Owl -- Maryland -- Jim Stasz (and congrats on #322!) 12/6 White-winged Crossbill -- Glen Echo, MD -- Dave Czaplak We now stand at 334 for the year, or 80.7% of our State list. This does not include the 6 possible new species seen this year. The last MS update was for August....and their listing still stands at 75.9%. Thank you to Tyler, George, Charlie and JB for showing support for a Y@K Comp List. We will definitely continue with the State list for next year, although I am not sure about an ABA list. Those who wish to participate in an ABA list are welcome to set me the sightings. If we have enough participants, we'll see what we can do. If any of you have suggestions on how to improve our comp list procedures, web page, etc., please let me know. We will probably have two more updates before the end of the year.
