["Andrew Dolby" <adolby@xxxxxxx>]

I just wanted to add an important point to Jim Goehring's message regarding the 
FLS Swamp Sparrow story.  Fred Atwood discovered this population as a 
participant in the 2004 Virginia Society of Ornithology's Breeding Bird Foray 
on the Northern Neck.  This is a prime example of the important role that the 
VSO Foray plays in the documentation and conservation of Virginia's birds!

Thanks again to the sharp-eyed (and eared!) participants of previous 
years...and stay tuned for information about next year's Northern Saw-whet Owl 
Foray.
