Parties included Rob and Denise Gibbs, Hal Wierenga/Lynn Davidson, and Barbara and me. The bad news is we did not find it ... the other bad news is ... this was the third time for some of us (ahem!) ... what every happen to "the third time's a charm" rule ... ??? When I saw that Norm's "good news/bad news" message was about the kingbird, I was afraid he was going to say that he saw it ... but watched it being eaten by a Cooper's Hawk ... whew!!! Also, Hal and Lynn saw a Great Horned Owl ... and Barbara and I heard one calling (could not discern a pair) at ENNWR. Does anyone know offhand if there's an e-mail address for Maryland Atlas Incidental Reports?
