Back to Marilyn, I apologize for starting up something and perhaps =20
getting misunderstood.  There are no requirements for contributions =20
to this list for sightings, opinions, etc.  I just wished to =20
encourage everyone, not specifically yourself, to try to include a =20
bit of info', not necessarily accurate, about abundance rather than =20
just presence.  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
