This second bird quickly resumed hunting, at times making spectacular stoops and effortless upward arcs. Eventually it and the pigeons disappeared from sight some time after about 9:20 am. =20 This has been a spectacular morning! =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 ======================================================================= =========================================================================
