            This report is submitted on behalf of Jan Reese of Talbot
County, who continues to periodically survey the flora and fauna of Poplar
Island.  

            These sightings include the birds seen on June 17, 2005 and on
July 6, 2005.  Some of the birds were seen from the boat during the trip
from Tilghman Island and back.  The first numerical entry in the table for
each species refers to 6/17, and the second entry refers to 7/6.  On 7/6,
Jan was accompanied by Zach Baer.

		For the sake of the official records, the previous report of
Jan's sightings were attained on June 6, 2005, not June 8th.  (The report
had erroneously shown the viewing as being on June 8th.)
