Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Hello folks: So I'm flipping through the channels last night on the TV to get the weather. I stopped on the Redskins football game for a moment.......when, all of a sudden, the camera has a two-second closeup of a bird on the field.......(2nd quarter of game). Did anyone else see this bird? Identify it? I highly suspect it was a SANDERLING. Does anyone second this motion? Lastly, at Lily Pons this summer during the day and early evening while still sunny, did anyone else here the cricket frogs I heard (i.e., They sound like two marbles being banged against each other.)? (At the time, I thought they were a different species, but now I am positive "cricket frog" is the correct identification.)
