MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all This morning I woke up to a terrible racket in my back yard but I recognized the sounds. The grackles made their arrival to my back yard and completely covered the feeding area. They were calling and displaying. The first I have seen them this year. The robins have been out in full force in the yard and the birds are singing in the early a.m. It must be spring! I find that hard to believe since I still have a snow mound in my front yard! Good birding and happy spring Janelle Dietrich lovewhales@ccconline.net Bowie, MD ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
