Since I spoke directly with the residents of 1845 Hoopersville Road and then posted what I hoped would be a helpful message to people going to look for this bird I feel somewhat responsible for encouraging entrance to this property, despite the fact that the owner told me to let it be known that walking up the driveway would be acceptable to him. I have written a note of apology to the property owners at 1845 Hoopersville Road and hope they will share it with their neighbors. This is but a small gesture, but maybe it will help a little. ////// Arlene Ripley | || Calvert County, MD | 0 || aripley@nestbox.com | || http://www.nestbox.com || ========================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ========================================================================== ==========================================================================
