At first I thought it was a chestnut-sided, because of the bright yellow cap, but the undersides were completely clear. I lost the bird after a few seconds, but was able to find it again for another (<20 second) look. It had a black line through the eye; bright yellow cap; yellow wing bar or bars with otherwise plain gray or bluish gray upperparts; and white or nearly white underparts with no yellow tints visible. The bird was in a tree, about 20 feet off the ground both times that I saw it. It flew of to the NW, further into the woods, and I was not able to refind it. Other interesting birds seen or heard along the Anacostia Bike path and around Lake Artemesia this morning: orchard oriole (1st year male, singing) 2 field sparrows tree swallows, apparently fighting over a nest box osprey hunting over the lake pileated woodpecker yellow warbler white-eyed vireo 2 male indigo buntings Jack Saba -- Jack Saba Berwyn Heights, Prince George's County, MD jlsaba@capu.net ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
