[UNMASKED] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Re "puppy drum": Lippson& Lippson(Life in the Chesapeake BAy) say name refers to young of the Black Drum. An old Charles County Bird Count lists "waterwitches", an even neater name for the Horned Grebe? No old-timer on the western shore calls a cow-nose ray a ray. They're called skates hereabouts. (And no biologist can tell 'em different.) I think I'll compromise with "doublehead".
