It is still there, currently with its back to me, sitting and looking around. =20 The back and nape are the blue-gray color of an adult. The wing feathers and tail are rather brown. The underparts are white with not too many black markings. Its size is small. I have shown it to everyone in my office. =20 Exciting! =20 Rob Hilton rhilton@csa.com Bethesda, Md.=20 ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
