I will be along the east coast of Florida, possibly the Everglades and also the Florida Keys the first two weeks of January. Being a resident of Pittsburgh, I naturally am very excited about seeing new and unusual birds, and don't know where would be the best places. Also, I realize that "listing" is taboo among real birdwatchers, but where precisely does the ABA define the limits of where you can "count" birds? For example, do the Florida Keys count, since they are not quite on the continent? I believe that the Aleutians count, though they are extremely far away from North America. Also, if anyone has an idea about short trips in Atlanta please send me mail. Thank you, Mark Krenitsky Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
