Nevertheless, 10 species of warbler is not shabby and adding to this the Palms, Black-and-White, Hooded and Wormeating of yesterday makes it quite a nice April weekend total. Cheers, Gail Mackiernan and Barry Cooper Colesville, MD ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
