I am off to Florida to follow the Jimmy Buffet trail, pay homage to Ernest
Hemmingway and try to break 500 for the lower 48. I have turned my mail off
(I hope) and will miss all the important exchanges that occur on this list
for the next week.

Could someone please go out to the SJCR and check on the Snowy Owls while I'm
gone? I'd like to get an accurate last seen date

Thanks,
