Re: Google Earth info/request for Merrill Webb

Apologies! My mistake. Each place marker is 444 bytes, not 444k. Will not 
add but a second or two to a retrieval on 28k dial-up.
My thoughts are that birds will hang around the same general spot for a few 
hours or even days. The Eurasian-Collared Dove that brought me to this list 
originally stayed for weeks, not days.
