While reading Ron's two emails on the best birding spots around Maryland, I 
was reminded that there is no up to date birding guide for the State, just a 
few of the counties.  Claudia Wilds' "Finding Birds in the National Capital 
Area" is 16 years old I believe.  Maybe it's time for MOS or some 
individual(s) to step forward and tap the vast experience pool that is 
obviously out there and create an updated version of Claudia's book or one 
possibly under the auspices of ABA.  I know I'd sure buy it.

Hi Everyone,

Our request for information about favorite birding locations in
Maryland counties was met with many helpful responses.  In the hope that
others will find these suggestions as beneficial as we have, we provide
a summary of them here.
