The IBA Program invites nominations of
IBAs from members of the public with a good knowledge of potential
sites and a desire to do something to benefit bird conservation.
If you know of a place that you think is important for birds
in Maryland or DC, please consider nominating it as an IBA.
The IBA program is currently identifying sites and new IBAs
will be announced through 2005 and 2006.
