There has been some confusion over the dates for the count and then I failed to update the dates from last year in the article appearing in the latest Yellowthroat. The correct text should have been: “The annual Fall Seasonal Bird Count sponsored by MOS is held on the weekend of the 3rd Saturday in September in the Maryland-DC area. The MOS Board has left the choice of whether the count will be on Saturday the 21st or Sunday the 22nd to local chapters and coordinators.” The 2024 updated information on counts and checklist files will be posted on the MOS website Seasonal Counts page in early August.
