Co. Also, like Arlene, we are experiencing the biggest Blue-headed Vireo year i can remember. They are around the house every day (starting April 17) and much singing. On April 10, i noticed a Great Egret roost on Patuxent River Park across the river from my house. Most evenings there are 6 to 10 there. They arrive in the evening very suddenly, and leave just as quickly in the a.m. Quite a sight. Perhaps they have joined one of the Great Blue colonies in the area? Altho they were not there last nite or this a.m.; maybe just migrants, time will tell. danny bystrak bristol ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
